[5]Helicene Based π‐Conjugated Macrocycles with Persistent Figure‐Eight and Möbius Shapes: Efficient Synthesis, Chiral Resolution and Bright Circularly Polarized Luminescence

π-Conjugated chiral shape-persistent molecular nanocarbons hold great potential as chiroptical materials, though their synthesis remains a considerable challenge. Here, we present a simple approach using Suzuki coupling of a [5]helicene building block with various aromatic units, enabling the one-pot synthesis of a series of chiral macrocycles with persistent figure-eight and Möbius shapes. Single-crystal structures of 7 compounds were solved, and 22 enantiomers were separated by preparative chiral HPLC. A notable pyrene-bridged figure-eight macrocycle, with its rigid, fully π-conjugated and overcrowded structure, exhibited pure excimer emission and outstanding circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties, including a large dissymmetric factor (|g
