Chiral rod-coil type-organoboron polymers, S-poly and R-poly, have been prepared from Sonogashira coupling reaction of BODIPY-based monomer bearing bis-iodophenyl and decyl groups with S- or R-binaphthyl derivatives. The SEM analysis of each chiral polymer revealed μm-sized fiber-like structures formed by aggregation of each particle, however, the mixed polymer (S-poly/R-poly = 30/70) showed complete particle structures from nm to μm sizes, and the ΦF of the mixed polymer was significantly high (0.98).
