Nowadays, efforts to develop new systems with enhanced optical properties follow the trial-error method. A large number of data would allow us to obtain more robust conclusions and guide research toward molecules with practical applications. In this sense, in this work we predict the chiroptical properties of millions of halogenated [6]helicenes in terms of the rotatory strength (R). We have used DFT calculations to randomly create derivatives including from 1 to 16 halogen atoms, that were then used as a data set to train different deep neural network models. These models allow us to i) predict the Rmax for any halogenated [6]helicene with a very low computational cost, and ii) to understand the physical reasons that favour some substitutions over others. Finally, we synthesized derivatives with higher predicted Rmax obtaining excellent correlation among the values obtained experimentally and the predicted ones.}, organization = {Grants PID2023-146801NB- C31 and PID2020-113059GB-C21 funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/ 501100011033; PID2021-125537NA.I00 funded by MICIU/ AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by ERDF/EU; PID2022- 137403NA-I00 funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/ 501100011033 and by ERDF/EU; PID2023-146433NB-I00 funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by ERDF/EU}, organization = {ERDF/Junta de Andalucía (D3S project P21.00247)}, organization = {FPU contract (FPU20/03582)}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía is also acknowledged for postdoctoral grants by CMC (POSTDOC 21 00139) and SML.
