Abstract
New polymers with chiral carbons and with rod-like mesogenic units bei ng stringed at waist (as the ''kebabs'') by the main-chain (as the ''s hish'' or ''skewer'') were synthesized and studied. All the chiral pol ymers are optically highly active and have strong tendency of nematic phase formation.
