The controlled incorporation of heptagons into helicene frameworks offers a promising approach to modulate their structural and electronic properties. This study demonstrates the synthesis of two heptagon-embedded oxa-helicenes: one with a single heptagon (5) and another with two heptagons (6), achieved through controlled oxidative cyclization of a triple oxa-helicene (4). UV–vis absorption and emission spectra revealed red-shifts and slight increases in Stokes shifts from 4 to 6, attributed to π-system extension and greater structural relaxation in the excited state. 5 and 6 exhibited fluorescence quantum yields 2–3 times higher than 4. Chiral separation and thermal stability analyses showed a significant decrease in enantiomeric stability for 5 and 6 compared to 4, due to planarization effects induced by heptagon incorporation. The chiroptical properties were also investigated, revealing reduced optical dissymmetry factors after heptagon embedding.
