Abstract

Achiral polysiloxanes with para‐alkoxybenzoic acid side chains can bind many molecules of an optically active trans‐stilbazole with hydrogen bonds. The resulting, self‐assembling system 1 has ferroelectric properties which can be regulated by the number of stilbazole units per polymer molecule and the length of the (CH2)n spacer. (Figure Presented.)
