Helicenes and helicenoid structures are promising candidates for future applications exploiting circularly polarized light. Ideal candidates should possess near-quantitative photoluminescence quantum yield, a high luminescence dissymmetry factor and an adjustable HOMO-LUMO gap. However, carbo[n]helicenes are poorly luminescent compounds and they absorb light mainly in the ultraviolet region.

However, most of the helicenes absorb light mainly in the ultraviolet region, with only a small segment in the blue part of the visible spectrum. Furthermore, carbo[]helicenes exhibit only weak luminescence that limits their utilization.
