Abstract: To provide a proton conductive material which has high proton conductivity even under no humidification and does not elute into water. A proton conductive material comprising a proton-source-polymer and a proton-channel-polymer, wherein at least one selected from the group consisting of the proton-source-polymer and the proton-channel-polymer is a polymer containing an aromatic ring, and wherein at least a part of the polymer containing the aromatic ring has a stacked structure formed by n-n interactions, and a proton conductive material comprising a proton-source-crosslinked-polymer, wherein the proton-source-crosslinked-polymer is a polymer having a main skeleton which contains a proton source group and an aromatic ring, and a crosslinked structure which contains a proton channel, and wherein at least a part of the proton-source-crosslinked-polymer has a stacked structure formed by n-n interactions.

Abstract: Disclosed are optically active high-molecular-weight compounds of the following formula and stationary-phase materials containing the same. The high-molecular-weight compounds exhibit optical activity by virtue of their stacking helical structure wherein the aromatic groups are aligned in a twisted arrangement, thus being useful as optically active stationary phases for HPLC or polarized- light absorbers.

Abstract: A polymer compound having a functional group containing a cyclic part with aromatic properties comprising C, H and/or C, H, X (X is a hetero atom) in the side-chain, and a number average molecular weight of 250-1,000,000. The molar optical absorption due to the cyclic part with aromatic properties of the polymer compound is lower 30% or more than the molar optical absorption due to the cyclic part with aromatic properties in a polymerizing monomer used to introduce the cyclic part with aromatic properties. As this cyclic part has an overlapping stack structure, the compound has a hypochromic effect, and if an electron donor compound or electron-accepting compound is added, a charge transfer complex is formed.

Abstract: This invention relates to optically active high-molecular-weight compounds represented by the structural formula and stationary-phase materials containing the same. The high-molecular-weight compounds exhibit optical activity by virtue of their stacking helical structure wherein the aromatic groups are aligned in a twisted arrangement, thus being useful as optically active stationary phases for HPLC or polarized-light absorbers. In the formula 1 Ar in the formula is an aromatic ring, R1, and R2 are hydrogen atoms or organic groups, R3 and R4 are substituents, n is an integer of 2 or more, X is a group selected from among —(CH2)m—, an aromatic group, a vinyl group, a hetero atom and a group containing a hetero atom, and m is an integer of 0 or more. R3 and R4 may be introduced 2-4 times respectively, wherein these may be identical or different, and R is a hydrogen atom, a hetero atom or an organic group.
