n]Helicene Diimides (n = 5, 6, and 7) : Through-Bond versus Through-Space Conjugation

The interactions between auxochromic groups in π-conjugated functional molecules dictate their electronic properties. From the standpoint of potential applications, understanding and control of such interactions is a vital requirement for the material design. In this communication, we describe the design, synthesis, and functional properties of a novel class of helically chiral diimide molecules, namely, [n]HDI-OMe (n = 5, 6, and 7), in which two imide units are connected via an [n]helicene skeleton. The experimental results supported by quantum chemical calculations reveal that the helical backbone in these molecules offers not only through-bond but also through-space conjugation between imide groups, which leads to distinct optical and electrochemical properties when compared to the related [n]helicenes and rylene diimides.
