This work describes series of side-on and end-on SCLCPs with an
optically active polynorbornene main chain and achiral mesogens. The side-on SCLCPs display the tendency of forming nematic,
i.e. achiral mesophases, in strong contrast with the chiral nematic phase exhibited by their comparative end-on analogues.
