Yes, they are (more) optically actives

Explanation:

These substituted molecules increase its entropic level based on its chiral rotations (random rotation) therefore, its optical activity becomes magnified.
In my opinion, these molecules can be polarizable under the action of an electrical field and consequently decreasing or loosening its optical properties and can be used as an optical barrier.
