| Abstract
| - The chiral ordering in aggregated poly(3-alkylthiophene) can be controlled by a metal salt-dependent doping-dedoping process. Enhancement or reduction in the chiral anisotropy factor dependson the doping level, such that doping driven by polymer−metal salt interactions, and dedoping driven byaggregate formation must be balanced in order to achieve maximal chiral ordering. This phenomenonprovides a new basis to control chiral arrangement in conjugated polymer aggregates, relying solely ondoping, and thus avoiding tedious modification of side-chain or main-chain structures.
