We have unambiguously demonstrated the binding of the silver(I) ion in the central cavity of [7]-helicene, given that the counterion is weakly coordinating. In such a binding mode, the helicene is functioning as a chiral molecular tweezer.

TLDR
A rapid route to diversely functionalized 1-aza[6]helicenes has been achieved via the development of a copper-mediated cross-coupling reaction, followed by PtCl4-catalyzed cycloisomerization, suitable for relaying the axial chirality of a key intermediate to the helicity of the product.
