Significance

Reported is the first synthetic het­ero-strand double helical polymer. Two complementary homopolymers 1 and 2 assembled into a perfect double helix via an interstrand amidinium-carboxylate salt bridge in a polar solvent such as THF. The structure was verified by UV-Vis, CD, FTIR, AFM and WAXD.
