Supertwistacene : A Helical Graphene Nanoribbon

This work describes a synthetic chiral graphene nanoribbon, named supertwistacene 1. It has four superbenzene (HBC) units linearly fused in a helical manner. The structure of 1, 4.3 nm in length, with an end-to-end twist of 117°, was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In contrast to various twistacene compounds and their analogues, 1 has a very stable configuration. It resists thermal isomerization even when being heated at 200 °C for 16 h. Enantiopure 1 obtained by chiral HPLC shows distinct CD signals in a broad spectral range until 600 nm. In addition, two smaller congeners of 1, the trimer 2 and the dimer 3, were also prepared and systematically investigated. Combining theoretical and experimental studies on 1-3 presents a big picture on their (chir)optical and electronic characteristics.
