Synthesis and resolution of multi-chiral carbonyl-N embedded hetero[7]helicenes for efficient circularly polarized luminescence†
Abstract
Novel carbonyl-N embedded hetero[7]helicene diastereomers incorporating axially chiral binaphthyl were facilely synthesized and separated. The separated homochiral hetero[7]helicenes exhibit intense green photoluminescence and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with luminescence dissymmetry factors (glum) of 1.4 × 10−3 due to the intrinsic helical multiple-resonance skeleton.
