- Abstract
We report two new helicenes derived from the double fusion of an acene with two perylene diimide (PDI) subunits. These PDI-helicene homologs exhibit very different structural and electronic properties, despite differing by only a single ring in the link between the PDI units. The shorter inter-PDI link brings the two PDI subunits closer together, and this results in the collision of their respective π-electron clouds. This collision facilitates intramolecular through-space electronic delocalization when the PDI-helicene is reduced.
