Abstract
We achieved a two-type synthesis of quinoxaline-fused polyaza[5]- and [7]helicenes through consecutive N−H/C−H coupling with a hypervalent iodine reagent as a key reaction. By fusing electron-deficient quinoxaline, these polyazahelicenes constitute an efficient donor-acceptor type of molecule with absorption edges that reach up to approximately 650 nm. Evaluating the chiroptical properties reveals that the polyazahelicene exhibits a rare orange circularly polarized glow with a luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum value) of 0.003.
