Abstract

The reaction between differently substituted borasiloxanes and 2,5-bis(3-pyridylethynyl)thiophene provided the first example of luminescent borasiloxane-based chiral helices held together by N-B bonds. The starting building blocks and the helices were fully characterized, and the nature of the N-B bond rationalized by means of theoretical calculations.
