Enantiopure P ‐ and M ‐carbo[6]helicenes substituted with one or two tetracyanobutadiene moieties at positions 2 and 15 have been prepared. Grafting of these electron‐accepting groups onto the π‐helical core resulted in strong charge‐transfer effects, which greatly affected the UV/Vis, electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and two‐photon absorption (TPA) responses. The ECD signal was found to be reversibly switched by applying a redox stimulus.
