Abstract

Summary: Optically active poly{methyl(1‐naphthyl)silylene](o‐phenylene)methylene}s with different molecular weights and configurations were prepared, and their supramolecular complexes with β‐cyclodextrin were investigated in a water–tetrahydrofuran mixture (1:1 v/v) at the temperatures between 25 and 68 °C. Complexation was very sensitive to sample preparation, molecular weight of the polymer as well as the configuration of the chiral silicon center. Supramolecular complexation, followed by changes in the circular dichroism, took place enantioselectively and the complex of the high‐molecular weight (+)‐polycarbosilane with β‐cyclodextrin exhibited a dramatic change in its induced circular dichroism. The mechanism of this unique complexation was investigated by SEC, ^1^H NMR spectroscopy, UV, fluorescence, and circular dichroism.
