Helicenes and their derivatives represent a class of non-planar nanocarbon molecules formed by ortho-fused aromatic rings. Their unique helical structure endows helicenes with remarkable chiral optical activity, exhibiting circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties. These characteristics make helicenes highly promising for applications in optical materials and biosensors. Heteroatom doping is an effective strategy to enhance the performance of helicenes. By introducing heteroatoms such as nitrogen, boron, oxygen, or sulfur, the electronic structure of helicenes can be precisely tuned, significantly improving their chiral optical properties and quantum yield. The latest research progress in this field over the past three years is summarized, focusing on the design, synthesis, and performance optimization strategies of all-carbon helicenes and heteroatom-doped helicene nano-carbon molecules. Future development directions are also discussed.

Key words: helicene, molecular nanocarbon, chiral material, circularly polarized luminescence, heteroatom doping
