A helical porphyrin-nanographene with an extended aromatic network
Presented is a straightforward synthetic methodology toward a porphyrin-based “N-doped” nanographene that includes a chiral element. This central element is a “defective” hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) resembling [Formula: see text]-extended [5]-helicene, which is fused to two porphyrins via five rings in a [Formula: see text]-meso fashion. The conjugate shows excellent processability and exhibits fascinating photophysical characteristics, which were probed using optical spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations.
