Direct observations of the helical structures of artificial helical polymers, such as helical polyacetylenes and polyisocyanides, by atomic force microscopy (AFM) are described in this tutorial review. The two-dimensional helix bundle formation of specific helical polymers on substrates under solvent vapor exposure permits us to determine their helical structures, including their helical pitch and handedness, at a molecular level by AFM in the tapping mode. The direct observation of supramolecular helical structures based on stereoregular poly(methyl methacrylate)s is also described.
