Symmetric C <sub>66</sub> H <sub>36</sub> multihelicenes
The relative stability and the conformational behavior of symmetric multihelicene isomers of formula C 66 H 36 are analyzed by computational means. Our efforts to synthesize some of these molecules are also reported, in particular, the observation of unexpected debromination when attempting to synthesize 13,14-dibromo[5]phenacene, and of unexpected reactivity of 13,14-dibromo[5]aphene when attempting its cyclotrimerization promoted by a nickel(0) complex.
