A one-pot, multicomponent strategy was used to synthesize the first example of the dirhenium carbonyl coordination complex 2 , in which the two metal atoms are connected through a chiral helical-shaped diphosphine oxide. Thanks to the flexibility of the helix of helicene 1 , complex 2 was isolated in quite a good yield as a stable compound. It was characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques as well as by single-crystal X-ray analysis, which confirmed the chemical structure and the peculiar architecture of 2 . In addition, computational studies were in agreement with the transitions observed in the experimental UV-vis spectrum, revealing the presence of two bands with maxima at about 520 (metal-to-ligand charge transfer) and 400 nm (IL).
