Graphical Abstract
Contagious chirality: A chiral polymer (see image) was obtained from the polycondensation of an achiral monomer by using a chiral nematic liquid crystal (N*-LC) as an inert reaction solvent. The chirality of the polymer is thought to derive from the asymmetry produced by the chiral medium during polymerization.
