It:Hexahelicene
Appearance
Hexahelicene is an aromatics compound that is part of a homologous series of Helicenes. Helicenes are ortho-condensed polyarommatic cyclic compounds. Helicenes are notable in organic chemistry for having optical enantomers without chiral centres and asymmetric carbons. Their chirality comes from the fact that they can turn either clockwise or anticlockwise.
