“…Helicenes are chiral; as a result, they are expected to have specific functionalities. Recently, helicenes have been widely applied in various fields [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ], such as organic semiconductors [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], asymmetric catalysis [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], and molecular recognition [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], due to their diverse functionalities in materials. Many studies have also been reported on self-assembly phenomena at metal surfaces [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ] caused by interactions with the π-orbitals of helicenes.…”
