Tunable Synthesis of Multi‐Responsive NH‐Containing Helical Nanographenes With a Chiroptical Switching Function

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The Scholl reaction of 1,3,6,8‐tetrakis(oligophenyl)‐appended carbazoles afforded stable NH‐containing helical nanographenes, which showed significant redshift and reversible on/off switching of CPL upon the addition of base and acid, respectively. Furthermore, excited‐state proton transfer occurred in dimethyl sulfoxide to generate anionic species ...
