Chirality is a curious phenomenon that appears in various forms. While the concept of
molecular (RS‐) chirality is ubiquitous in chemistry, there are also more intricate forms of …

Peptides and proteins are naturally chiral molecular systems so that sensing their structure
and conformation with chirality-based spectral methods is an obvious and long-used …

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

Chiroptical spectroscopy exploring the interaction of matter with polarized light provides
many tools for molecular structure and interaction studies. Here, some recent discoveries …

Vibrational optical activity (VOA) consisting of infrared vibrational circular dichroism (VCD)
and vibrational Raman optical activity (ROA) was predicted, discovered, and confirmed …

We demonstrate that molecular vibrations with originally low or zero intensity in a vibrational
circular dichroism (VCD) spectrum attain chirality in molecular crystals by coordinated …

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy has been widely used to study (bio)
molecules in solution. However, its solid‐state applications have been restricted due to …
