Article Abstract
Polyallenes with appropriate pendants can form stable helices and exhibit significant optical activity. These helical polyallenes contain reactive double bonds that allow for further functionalization, making them a class of chiral functional materials with broad application prospects. This review article delves into the intricacies of synthesizing well-defined helical polyallenes through controlled synthetic methodologies, including helix-sense selective living polymerization, regioselective and asymmetric living polymerization, and one-pot block copolymerization of allenes with aryl monomers. The systemically outlined characteristics of the resulting helical polyallenes and related copolymers are summarized include their unique chiroptical properties, stimuli-responsiveness, helix-induced chiral self-assembly, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Additionally, current challenges and future perspectives in the research of controlled synthesis, functionalities, and applications of helical polyallenes are discussed in detail.

Polyallenes, as a typical type of reactive polymers, are of great significance and have aroused widespread interest because they contain double bonds that can be post-modified into other functionalities to afford varieties of functional materials. This Minireview firstly highlights the recent advances in the preparation of polyallenes, including preparation of helical polyallenes through directly polymerization of chiral allene monomers or helix-sense-selective polymerization (HSSP) of achiral allene monomers, synthesis of 1,2-regulated polyallenes and 2,3-regulated polyallenes via selective polymerization of allene monomers, polymerization of allene monomers catalyzed by Ni(II)-terminated poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), and so on. Then, latest progress on the self-assembly and stimuli-responses of polyallene-based diblock, ABA and ABC triblock copolymers is summarized.
