Helquats: Chemistry of Helicene-Viologen Hybrids Abstract: Viologens and helicenes have been in focus of many research laboratories due to their attractive and rich chemistry. This interest centers mainly around electrochemistry, supramolecular self assembly, optical properties, chirality, and catalysis. In our recent reports we introduced helquats which represent a structural link between helicenes and viologens (see scheme and references). Our efforts have been driven by a hypothesis that crossbreeding the two widely known and privileged compound classes will generate interesting and useful knowledge. Helquat chemistry will be discussed from the point of view of our current synthetic and stereochemical studies. References: Initial report on helquats: Chem. Eur. J. 2009, 1072.
