A C3-symmetric triple oxa[6]helicene with circularly polarized luminescence featuring parallel transition dipole moments

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Nov 24;58(94):13087-13090. doi: 10.1039/d2cc04475g.

Abstract

We present the synthesis and characterization of the first triple oxa[6]helicene with C3 symmetry. In contrast to the reported D3-symmetric triple oxa[7]helicene, the C3-symmetric analogue holds parallel electric and magnetic transition dipole moments and thus enhanced luminescence dissymmetry, shedding light on the critical role of molecular symmetry on chiroptical response.
