The ability to synthesise lemniscular molecules to allow for the study and application of their chiroptical properties is a notable technical challenge. Herein, the authors report the design and synthesis of enantiomers of a [5]helicenoid derived molecular lemniscate, in which two homochiral helicenes are linked via the formation of two azine motifs.
