abstract = {The controlled preparation of well-defined distorted nanographenes by a bottom-up approach based on organic synthesis permits the direct establishment of unprecedented structure–property relationships in carbon nanostructures. The simultaneous incorporation
of various defects in nanographenes affords highly curved structures
with novel or enhanced photophysical properties. In this sense, we recently reported a fully helical and saddle-shaped nanographene ribbon
containing the first undecabenzo[7]helicene unit. Both its linear and
nonlinear optical properties are enhanced in comparison with those of
other partially π-extended [7]helicenes. Moreover, the new superhelicene exhibits the highest emission dissymmetry factor (glum) reported
to date for a homochiral nanographene. The combination of both nonlinear and chiroptical properties in nanographenes opens up new possible future applications for those distorted nanostructures.},
