A unique rippled nanographene constituted by 52 fused
rings is presented in which six out-of-plane motifs are fully fused into
a triangular aromatic surface of ca. 2.5 nm size. Three units of an
unprecedented fully lateral π-extended octabenzo[5]helicene
together with three units of saddle-shaped heptagonal rings are
combined in a single structure leading to a well-soluble warped
nanographene. The two pairs of possible enantiomers have been
isolated and their linear, non-linear and chiroptical properties
evaluated, revealing an outstanding quantum yield and brightness
values at low energy together with good chiroptical responses both
in the absorption and emission
