Communication: Chiral‐polymer electrodes and electochemical sensor devices are two pro potential applications for carbohydrate‐modified conducting polymers with a polyazulene backbone (see figure where R is a sugar). Carbohydrate modification, whitel providing the conducting polymer with molecular‐targeting capability also lends water‐solubility to the intrinsicly hydrophobic azulene group and should therefore enable chemistry and electropolymerization in aqueous solution.
