Prof. Jun-Jian Shen Published article on Chemistry-A European Journal with the title of "Multiple Heterohelicenes: Synthesis, Properties and Applications".
Abstract: Multiple heterohelicenes involving one or more heteroatoms in the helical backbone, in light of the importance of their spanning disciplines of the chemical and material sciences, have thus attracted significant interest from various research fields. This review summarizes the current progress in the chemistry of multiple heterohelicenes, especially of those with boron, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, or phosphorus atoms fused into their skeletons over the past decade (2012-2022). For each of multiple heterohelicenes, their synthesis, structural features, electronic and chiroptical properties, as well as examples of their applications, are collected.
