Formation of the helical scaffolds was executed by the introduction of boron to flexible biaryl and triaryl derived from small achiral building blocks. All‐ortho‐fused azabora[7]helicenes feature exceptional configurational stability, blue or green fluorescence with quantum yields (Φ\(_{fl}\)) of 18–24 % in solution, green or yellow solid‐state emission (Φ\(_{fl}\) up to 23 %), and strong chiroptical response with large dissymmetry factors of up to 1.12×10\(^{-2}\). Azabora[9]helicenes consisting of angularly and linearly fused rings are blue emitters exhibiting Φ\(_{fl}\) of up to 47 % in CH\(_{2}\)Cl\(_{2}\) and 25 % in the solid state. As revealed by the DFT calculations, their P–M interconversion pathway is more complex than that of H1. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis shows clear differences in the packing arrangement of methyl and phenyl derivatives. These molecules are proposed as primary structures of extended helices.
