Helicene

Hexahelicene
General structure formula of [n]helicene

In organic chemistry, helicenes are ortho-condensed polycyclic aromatic compounds in which benzene rings or other aromatics are angularly annulated to give helically-shaped chiral molecules.[1] The chemistry of helicenes has attracted continuing attention because of their unique structural, spectral, and optical features.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
