This review covers the literature published between January and December in 2018 for
marine natural products (MNPs), with 717 citations (706 for the period January to December …

Quantum‐mechanical calculations of chiroptical properties have rapidly become the most
popular method for assigning absolute configurations (AC) of organic compounds, including …

Natural product research aims to characterize specialized metabolites from various living
organisms and assess their biological properties from either a chemical ecology or drug …

Covering: 2015 to up to 2019 This review presents the recent progress towards elucidating

Daphnenoids A–C (1–3), three unusual sesquiterpenes with distinctive ring skeletons,
together with a biogenetically related daphnenoid D (4) were obtained from the herb of …

This book details chiroptical spectroscopic methods: electronic circular dichroism (ECD),
optical rotatory dispersion (ORD), vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and vibrational …

Circular dichroism (CD) has long been used to trace chiral molecular states and changes of
protein configurations. In recent years, chiral plasmonic nanostructures have shown …

Computations of natural optical activity (OA) from first principles (ab initio) have become
indispensable in chiroptical studies of molecular systems. Calculations are used to assign …
