Repalcement of C=C bond with an isoeletronic and isosturctural B—N bond is an effective way to tune the photophyscial properties of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which have become the hot topic in the filed of optoelectronics. There are relatively smalll number of the non-planar BN-PAHs exsited, compared to the large number of planar BN-PAHs being synthesized. In this paper, the synthesis and properties of two series of non-planar BN[4]helicenes are discribed. The synthesis is quite straightforward by sequence of Suzuki cross coupling reaction, electrophilic borylation and nuleophilic substitution reactions. All of the target BN-[4]helicenes were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 11B NMR. One of the BN-[4]helicene was also unmbigiously confired by X-ray crystal analysis, which showed the typical helically twisted geometries. Futhermore, the BC4N ring in the BN[4]helicene exhibited weak aromaticites, wihch were quantitified by experimental and theorectical calculations. Furthermore, both of the two series of BN[4]helicene showed significant redshift of their absorption spectra and slightly blueshift emission spectra comparing to the all-carbon [4]helicene analogue. Also, good fluorescence quantum yields range from 0.42 to 0.70 were obtained for the two series of BN[4]helicenes.
