The project aims to investigate properties of electroactive chiral materials based on helicenic scaffolds such as [7]helicene, quasi[8]circulenes and unprecedented open shell neutral helical radicals based on tetrathiafulvalene (TTF). The designed molecules are embedded with helical chirality and electron donor units (TTF and metal-dithiolene) in order to induce charge delocalization in the helical backbone, chiral packing, extensive intermolecular interactions, conductivity and spin-filtering properties. The proven stereostability and resolution of the enantiomers (preliminary results, right picture) together with the proof-of-concept synthesis of TTFs bearing these units (unpublished results) represent valuable assets and a strong starting point for the project. The project will focus on chirality related physical properties such as chiroptical modulation, spin-dependent electrochemistry (SDE) and chirality induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect and will benefit from collaboration in theoretical chemistry and in electrochemistry (possible short stay at University of Modena).
