Abstract

This work presents a general approach for synthesis of substituted [5]-helical dispiroindeno[2,1-c]fluorenes based on Rh-catalyzed intramolecular cyclotrimerization of triynes. This approach was further extended for the first synthesis of configurationally stable [7]-helical dispiroindeno[2,1-c]fluorenes. A series of variously substituted derivatives was prepared and their photophysical and electrochemical properties were evaluated. Their fluorescence emission maxima were in the region of 351-428 nm and quantum yields up to 88 % are the highest measured among the full-carbon helical compounds.
