Synthesis and properties of the chiral oligonaphthalenes.
Helical oligonaphthalenes were constructed by bottom-up synthesis (repeating dimerization reactions), their absolute configurations were determined by an exciton chirality method and their functions, such as energy transfer, are also reported.
