Abstract
Higher homologues of dibenzo[ c , e ][1,2]dithiin are synthesized from oligophenyls bearing multiple methylthio groups. Single-crystal X-ray ana-lyses reveal their non-planar structures and helical enantiomers of higher meta -congener 6 . Such [1,2]dithiin homologues are demonstrated to be applicable to lithium-ion bat--teries as cathode, displaying a high capacity of 118 mAh g -1 at a current density of 50 mA g -1 .
