Abstract

The past decade witnessed remarkable success in synthetic molecular nanographenes. Encouraged by the widespread application of chiral nanomaterials, the design, and construction of chiral nanographenes is a hot topic recently. As a classic nanographene unit, hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene generally serves as the building block for nanographene synthesis. This review summarizes the representative examples of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene-based chiral nanographenes.

Keywords: Scholl reaction; chiral nanographene; helicene; racemization barrier; single-crystal X-ray diffractometry.
