Abstract

This account focuses on the synthesis and structures of symmetric multiple carbohelicenes; i.e., fully fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons containing two or more symmetric helicene moieties. Synergies of the multiplexed helicene structures within a π-system generate a number of local minima and transition states between each state. Based on recent studies on multiple helicenes, a systematic molecular design for further multiplexed symmetric helicenes is proposed in the last section of this article.

Key words

nonplanar π-systems - polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - helicene - multiple helicene
