Postfunctionalization of the tribenzo[a,d,g]coronene scaffold with an azulene unit remains largely undeveloped. Herein, we rationally synthesized novel chiral azulene-modified nanographene 6, whose structure was unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 6 bearing a [6]helicene subunit was resolved via chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and its enantiomers displayed mirror-image CD spectra in dichloromethane regardless of the presence or absence of trifluoroacetic acid. These findings advance the design of tribenzo[a,d,g]coronene-derived nanographenes with tunable optoelectronic properties.","PeriodicalId":54,"journal":{"name":"Organic Letters","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149209531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
