I.C. acknowledges predoctoral grant from the Complutense University of Madrid and Banco Santander (CT82/20-CT83/20). The authors warmly thank J.P. Salvetat of the Placamat service unit (France) for the ToF-SIMS measurements and Stéphane Toulin for assistance with the open data repository. Computer time for the theoretical calculation was provided by the computing facilities MCIA (Mésocentre de Calcul Intensif Aquitain) of the Université de Bordeaux.We report the preparation of a helical complex and its study in molecular junctions. We show that the SAMs of this racemic compound present an electrically robust behaviour which will pave the way for future studies of the CISS effect with analogous enantiopure compounds.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/journal article2040-3372https://doi.org/10.1039/D5NR00050Ehttps://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2025/nr/d5nr00050eopen access54Química23 Química
