Abstract
For this study, twisted π-extended helicene 1 and double helicene 2 with a helicene framework were synthesized through palladium-catalyzed C-H arylation or Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. X-ray crystallography revealed grossly twisted structures that were soluble in various conventional organic solvents. Optical properties based on UV/Vis and fluorescence spectra were measured. Electrochemical properties were also studied by measurements of cyclic voltammetry in 1 and 2, which revealed their HOMO and the LUMO energies. Theoretical calculation supports their HOMO and LUMO energies and molecular orbitals. Furthermore, a racemization process of 2 predicted that the activation free energy at 300 K would be 31.8 kcal mol(-1) by DFT calculation, which indicated the static helicity at 300 K.
