Axially chiral binaphthothiophene dicarboxylic acid was prepared as a novel functionalized chiral dicarboxylic acid. The crystal structures of both the racemic form and its salt with chiral diamine revealed the intramolecular S···O interactions (chalcogen bonds) between the sulfur in the naphthothiophene rings and the oxygen of the carboxy groups. The negative–positive and the positive–negative Cotton effects from longer to shorter wavelengths were observed for (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, respectively, in the circular dichroism (CD) spectra.
