We report the synthesis and characterization of two hexapole [7]helicenes (H7Hs). Single crystal X-ray diffraction unambiguously confirms the molecular structure. H7H absorbs light, with distinct Cotton effect, from ultraviolet to the near-infrared (λ = 618 nm). Cyclic voltammetry reveals nine reversible redox states, consecutively from -2 to +6. These chiroptical and electronic properties of H7H are inaccessible from helicene's small homologues.
我们报告了两种六极[7]螺旋(H7H)的合成与表征。单晶 X 射线衍射明确证实了分子结构。H7H 在紫外至近红外(λ=618nm)范围内吸收光,具有明显的Cotton 效应。循环伏安法揭示了九个可逆氧化还原态,从-2 到+6 依次递增。H7H 的这些手性和电子性质是螺旋小同系物所无法获得的。
