In this work, the racernate and mesorner of the thiophene-based naphthalene-cored double helicenes (1) were obtained efficiently by one-pot photocyclization of 1,1,2,2-tetralcis(dithieno[2,3-b:3',2'-d]thiophen-2-yOethene in the presence of iodine in dry benzene. The structure of meso-la was confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. The chiral resolution of the racemate was carried out by chiral HPLC, and the chiral properties, such as CD spectra, optical rotations, and half-life of enantiorners were characterized.
