A systematic study on the synthesis and properties of aza[5]helicenes bearing one or two nitrogen atoms in selected ring positions is reported for the first time. This photochemical approach can be conveniently applied to the preparation of either mono- or diaza[5]helicenes. The aza[5]helicenes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, emission spectroscopy, and luminescence lifetime. The extremely long triplet lifetime observed (in the range of seconds) makes these molecules promising candidates for practical applications in photo- and optoelectronics.

Abstract
A systematic study on the synthesis and properties of aza[5]helicenes bearing one or two nitrogen atoms in selected ring positions is reported for the first time. This photochemical approach can be conveniently applied to the preparation of either mono- or diaza[5]helicenes. The aza[5]helicenes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, emission spectroscopy, and luminescence lifetime. The extremely long triplet lifetime observed (in the range of seconds) makes these molecules promising candidates for practical applications in photo- and optoelectronics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
