Abstract

Hetero- and homochiral diastereomeric bis(metallahelicene)s have been synthesized. They possess a rare PtIII-PtIII scaffold bridged by benzoato ligands. It is shown that heterochiral (P,M)-bis(Pt III-[6]helicene) can isomerize into the homochiral (P,P)- and (M,M)-bis(PtIII-[6]helicene). A theoretical study shows a unique σ-π conjugation between the two π-helices and the σ-Pt III-PtIII scaffold that impacts the strong chiroptical properties.
