Figure 7.
(a) ECD spectra of BN-[6]H and BN-[7]H in toluene. (b) |gabs| values of BN-[6]H and BN-[7]. (c) Comparison of |gabs| values with representative single-stranded helicenes. (d) CPL spectra of BN-[6]H and BN-[7]H in toluene. (e) Calculated interconversion process of NBN-doped helicenes at the B3LYP-D3BJ/Def2-TZVP (solvent toluene, PCM model) level. Relative Gibbs free energies are given in kcal mol–1. tert-Butyl groups and the methyl group of the C ring in BN-[7]H are reduced to hydrogen atoms for simplicity.
