Cover Feature: Few Steps, Big Impact: Recent Advances in the Streamlined Synthesis of Multiply Chiral Heterohelicenes with Tunable Optoelectronic Properties (Chem. Methods 9/2025)

Abstract

The Cover Feature shows multicolored LEDs emitting circularly polarized light onto double and triple heterohelicenes, thereby highlighting their tunable optoelectronic properties. These complex molecules, featuring multiple chiral axes and heteroatoms, have been synthesized through innovative short-step strategies for next-generation optoelectronic applications.
