Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
L-Alanine-based polyisocyanides bearing oligothiophene (OT) pendants (poly-3a and poly-3b) were synthesized and the influence of the OT pendants on the chiroptical properties and helix-forming abilities of the polymers was investigated. Poly-3a bearing a quinquethiophene unit with two n-hexyl chains successfully formed a preferred-handed helical conformation by simultaneous interactions of the OT-pendant π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding of the amide groups. In contrast, poly-3b, which possesses a branched alkyl chain on behalf of the terminal n-hexyl chain of poly-3a, did not form a higher-ordered helical conformation. The results suggest that the structure of the alkyl chains positioned far from the polymer backbones remotely and sensitively affected the ability of the polymer to form a helical conformation. We also found that the structure of the OT pendants significantly affect the molecular weight as observed by AFM measurements. The polyisocyanide poly-3c bearing a bithiophene unit was additionally synthesized to examine the influence of the number of thiophene rings within the OT pendants on the higher-order structure formation.
