Chiral nanographenes are an intriguing class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structures, where combining the unique properties of inherently chiral molecules with the optical, electronic, and even magnetic properties of nanographenes can allow for new potential applications in the field of nanoelectronics. Being able to fine-tune these properties through rational synthetic design is a key part of the field of nanoelectronic development, and there have been many new advances made, both in the past and very recently, to prepare novel chiral nanographenes. Here, we will highlight several of the more recent, noteworthy, and lesser-reviewed contributions made in chiral nanographene preparation.
