Bibliography and Notes for Section 4.2 Chiral Dendrimers

According to the majority rules model the chirality of the enantiomer of the chiral monomer present in excess is amplified during polymerisation [38] (Fig. 4.78). Even if just a small enantiomeric excess is present, the resulting polymer shows a helical inequality identical to that of the corresponding chiral homopolymer (see the caption of Fig. 4.78 for details). 

Both effects (sergeant/soldier and majority rules) require helical conformations of the polymer strands undergoing formation (with mobile helical points of inversion).
