Abstract

Abstract: A series of inherently chiral (di)thiahelicenes/dithiophenohelicenes containing 5, 6, 9 or 11 (hetero)cycles in their helical backbone with thiophene subunit(s) embedded in it or annulated to its periphery were uniformly synthesized by intramolecular alkyne [2+2+2] cycloisomerization. Their structural, chemical and physicochemical properties such as crystal packing, oxidation, barrier to racemization, spontaneous thin film transformation or electrochemical behavior were studied and compared with the respective properties of the parent all‐carbon helicenes and dibenzohelicenes.
