In this review, we discuss the rich chemistry of helicenes and helicenoids containing main-
group elements. Enantioenriched helicenic derivatives containing main-group elements B …

Merocyanines, owing to their readily tunable electronic structure, are arguably the most
versatile functional dyes, with ample opportunities for tailored design via variations of both …

Helicenes are molecules with ortho-fused aromatic rings that adopt an inherently chiral
helical shape. This helical topology combined with the extended π-conjugated system …

Here we unveil a chiral molecular redox switch derived from PDI-based twistacenes─ c
hPDI [2] that has the remarkable attributes of high-intensity and a broadband chiral …

Enantiomeric glutamate gelators containing a spiropyran moiety are designed and found to
self‐assemble into a nanohelix through gelation. Upon alternating UV and visible light …

A new 1, 2-dialkylquinoxaline-fused [7] carbohelicene ([7] Hl-NAIQx) was designed and
synthesized by asymmetrically introducing two alkyl chains onto the quinoxaline unit. Direct …

Unprecedented regioselective post-functionalization of racemic and enantiopure cationic
diaza [4] helicenes is afforded. The peripheral auxochrome substituents allow a general …

We explore the range of applicability of the nuclear ensemble method (NEM) for quantitative
simulations of absorption spectra and their temperature variations. We formulate a “good …

The chiroptical switching properties of a readily accessible and water-soluble diaza [4]
helicene are disclosed. This zwitterionic dye displays pH-dependent absorption and …

Chiral organic fluorophores have significant promise in the development of efficient emitters
of circularly polarized light. Herein we describe a helically chiral boron dipyrromethene …
