Polymers such as Pl‐□ with chiral imprints are of interest, inter alia, for racemate separation. Because of the insolubility of these polymers there are no methods available for the direct investigation of the chiral voids in the polymer. Measurement of the optical rotation of the polymers in suspension has now been accomplished; it is therefore possible to determine the influence of chiral side groups, incorporated chiral templates, and the structure of chiral voids on the optical rotation.
