Abstract
A helical ladder polymer composed of a fused-benzothiophenium ring was synthesized via the intramolecular ring-closing reaction of the methylsulfoxide-substituted poly(1,3-phenylene). The precursor polymer was prepared by the palladium-catalyzed polymerization of 1,3-dibromobenzene and 1,3-phenylenebisborate and the following quantitative oxidation. The intramolecular ring-closing of the precursor polymer yielded poly[phenylene-4,6-bis(methylsulfonio)-1,3-diyl triflate]. The polymer structure did not involve any structural defects based on NMR analysis, which was supported by the model dimers and the control reaction using the monomeric analogues. The obtained polymer is one of the new poly(thiaheterohelicene)s. Magnetic circular dichroism of the polymer suggested an electron transition ascribed to the fused-ring structure.

The chemical shift of 4 in CF3SO3D was different from the one in CD3CN due to the deuteration on the phenylene rings in CF3SO3D (protonation in CF3SO3H). The details had been reported in ref 34.
CF3SO3D was selected as the solvent for the 1H NMR study since the signals of the methyl groups adjacent to the sulfur atoms and a solvent, such as DMF-d7 (2.74, 2.91, and 8.01 ppm) and DMSO-d6 (2.50 ppm), overlapped.
The absorption spectra of 3 and 4 had been reported in ref 33.
Slight unsymmetrical profiles measured at the positive and negative magnetic fields in Figures 4 and 5 was caused by the apparatus setup. When the direction of the magnetic field (from N to S pole) is parallel to one of the circular polarized irradiation, the magnetic field is called “positive”.

The actual method to analyze the MCD spectrum for polymers is very complicated due to the molecular weight distribution and the variety of conformations, and has not yet been established.
