The synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons containing various non-benzenoid rings
remains a big challenge facing contemporary organic chemistry despite a considerable …

While single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) is one of the most powerful structural
determination techniques for organic molecules, the requirement of obtaining a suitable …

Chemical transformation of polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules following different
reaction strategies has always been the focus of organic synthesis. In this work, we report …

A nanographene formed by the fusion of 22 benzene rings has been prepared by combining
an in-solution Pd-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction and on-surface Au-promoted …

We have investigated the chiral recognition behavior leading to the formation of self-
assembled zigzag chain structures of rac-[7] thiaheterohelicene on the Ag (111) surface by …

Knowledge of absolute configurations (ACs) is crucial to understand the properties and
functions of chiral molecules. Although the development of asymmetric reactions has …

Helicene is a functional material with chirality caused by its characteristic helical geometry.
The inversion of its helicity by external stimuli is a challenging task in the advanced control …

The crystallization of a racemic mixture of [5] and [7] thiaheterohelicene molecules into two-
dimensional highly ordered molecular domains on a Ag (111) surface was investigated by …

The intrinsic dynamic and static nature of the π··· π interactions between the phenyl groups
in proximity of helicenes 3–12 are elucidated with the quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules …
