Here we present a highly versatile synthetic strategy based on twofold 6π-electrocyclization accompanied with HBr elimination as a novel approach towards centrosymmetric multi-heteroatom-doped nanographenes build around an electron-rich 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole core. A straightforward synthesis from readily available substrates offers a unique possibility of fusing the 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole subunit not only with carbocyclic building blocks, such as electron-deficient phenanthrenes, chrysenes, or [4]helicenes, but also with heterocyclic systems, such as benzo[b]furan and 5-thiatruxene. The clear advantage of this strategy is that there is no requirement to assemble complex scaffolds possessing bromoaryl units since bromine atom is introduced by bromination of 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole core which, because of its exceptionally electron-rich character, is straightforward reaction.

π-Conjugated chiral shape-persistent molecular nanocarbons hold great potential as chiroptical materials, though their synthesis remains a considerable challenge. Here, we present a simple approach using Suzuki coupling of a [5]helicene building block with various aromatic units, enabling the one-pot synthesis of a series of chiral macrocycles with persistent figure-eight and Möbius shapes. Single-crystal structures of 7 compounds were solved, and 22 enantiomers were separated by preparative chiral HPLC.

Near-infrared (NIR) circularly polarized absorbing or emitting materials offer distinct advantages over their visible-light counterparts and have attracted considerable interest across various fields. Materials exhibiting NIR chiroptical properties with high fluorescence quantum yields (Φ) are particularly rare. In this study, we report the synthesis of a series of helical nanographenes (1, 2, 3, and 4), where perylene is fused with one to four hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (sub) units by a strategy involving Diels-Alder cycloaddition followed by a Scholl reaction.

A -symmetric hexapole helicene (HH) and a -symmetric dodecapole helicene (DH) were prepared, and their three-dimensional structures were verified by X-ray crystallography and density functional theory calculations. The molecular geometries and local helical configurations of their most stable diastereomers were correctly predicted by arranging suitable conformations of the peripheral aryl rings. Importantly, the outermost three [5]helicenes with a consistent configuration in DH were observed to increase the thermostability, enantiomerization barrier (Δ = 40.
