Abstract

The electro-oxidative polymerization mechanism of an enantiopure chiral EDOT monomer, performed using spin polarized currents, is shown to depend on the electron spin orientation. The spin-polarized current is shown to influence the initial nucleation rate of the polymerization reaction. This observation is rationalized in the framework of the Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity effect.
