Helicenes have attracted considerable attention due to their inherent helical chirality and
extended π-conjugation. Recently, rapid progress has been witnessed in the preparation of …

Chiroptical switches, whose chiral optical signals such as optical rotatory dispersion (ORD),
circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) are reversibly …

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

Prompted by the recent rapid growth of interest in circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of
organic molecules, we have collected all the reliable CPL, as well as the corresponding …

Chirality is a fundamental symmetry property; chiral objects, such as chiral small molecules,
exist as a pair of non-superimposable mirror images. Although small-molecule chirality is …

This Review discusses the structure–property relationships in chiral molecules,
macromolecules (polymers), and supramolecules (crystals, liquid crystals, or thin films) …

Here we report the synthesis of two polyhelicene frameworks consisting, from end-to-end, of
18 and 24 fused benzene rings. The latter exhibits the largest electronic circular dichroism in …

Chiral molecules play indispensable roles in advanced materials and technologies.
Nevertheless, no conventional, yet reliable logical strategies are available for designing …

We report a new family of hexa‐peri‐hexabenzocoronene (HBC)‐based helical
nanographenes incorporating π‐extended carbo [5] helicenes bearing an octagonal …

Asymmetric metal based catalysis has advanced quickly in recent years, with its efficiency
relying exclusively on chiral ligands. Rational design and meticulous selection of chiral …
