摘要

This study investigates the enantiomerization of helicenes on graphene-like surfaces through theoretical calculations. Results highlight the pivotal role of intermolecular π-π interactions in influencing enantiomerization barriers. For [4]helicenes, the transition state’s full planarity enhances π-π interactions with the surface, lowering the enantiomerization barrier. Conversely, [5]helicenes transition states lose planarity, resulting in diminished π-π interactions and increased enantiomerization barriers compared to free helicenes. These findings emphasize the significant impact of surfaces on helicene enantiomerization, paving the way for future research to tune this process via surface interaction manipulation.
