This short paper describes the preparation of thin layers based on carbohelicenes, which are inherently chiral polyaromatics existing in the enantiomeric forms P and M. Specifically, [5]-, [6]- and [7]helicene were subjected to redox cycling between –1.5 and 1.5 V vs. ferrocene/ferrocenium at a scan rate of 10 V/s. This way, enantiopure layers exhibiting redox activity were formed on the surfaces of the glassy carbon and ITO electrodes under anoxic and non-aqueous conditions. The properties of the prepared polymer layers were investigated using electrochemistry with Fe/Ru redox probes, circular dischroism, AFM, impedance measurement and Raman spectroscopy. With [6]helicene, the suggested electropolymerization procedure thus represents a proof-of-concept for the preparation of chiral carbonaceous surfaces.

这篇简短的论文描述了基于碳螺旋烯的薄层的制备方法，这些化合物是对映体形式P和M固有的手性聚芳族化合物。具体来说，[5]-，[6]-和[7]]烯在以下位置进行了氧化还原循环： 1.5和1.5伏VS。二茂铁/二茂铁，扫描速率为10 V / s。这样，在缺氧和非水条件下，在玻璃碳和ITO电极的表面上形成了具有氧化还原活性的对映纯层。使用电化学法对Fe / Ru氧化还原探针，圆离散，AFM，阻抗测量和拉曼光谱进行了研究，研究了制备的聚合物层的性能。因此，对于[6]螺旋烯，建议的电聚合程序代表了制备手性碳质表面的概念证明。
