“…[55] Although SBFs and helicenes have been studied for al ong time,t he studies of materials combining both structural motifs are rare in literature. [26,[56][57][58][59] Theasset of the combination of the above-mentioned principles,t hat is, helicity and the SBF moiety,have been sporadically indicated by photophysical properties of helical bitriphenylene, [56] [5]helical spiroindenofluorene [58] and dispiroindenofluorene (DSIF) [58] which exhibited considerably high fluorescence with quantum yields of 30, 83, and 70 %, respectively.T he indeno[2,1-c]fluorene (IF) core in 5,8-dihydroindeno[2,1c]fluorene (DHIF) (Figure 1) represents asuitable structural motif for ac ombination of helicity with SBF,b ut the lack of synthetic procedures or ag eneral synthetic methodology for its preparation limits further insight to structure-property relationship and complicates tuning of the physical properties. Only ah andful of reports have been published for the preparation of DHIF and its substituted derivatives.…”
