Abstract We report a unique category of π‐extended diaza[7]helicenes with double negative curvatures. This is achieved by two‐fold regioselective heptagonal cyclization the oligoarylene‐carbazole precursors through either intramolecular C−H arylation or Scholl reaction. The fusion two rings in helical skeleton dramatically increases strain and forces terminal carbazole moieties to stack compressed fashion. presence deformable negatively curved endows resulting dynamic chiral skeletons, aggregation‐induced emission feature relatively low racemization barrier ca. 25.6 kcal mol −1 . Further π‐extension on subsequently leads more sophisticated C 2 ‐symmetric homochiral triple helicene. Notably, these show structure‐dependent stacking upon crystallization, switching from heterochiral packing intra‐layer stacking. Interestingly, helicene molecules spontaneously resolve into lamellar structure 3 1 helix symmetry.
