Chirality that is induced, monitored, controlled, or applied via the principles of a
supramolecular approach is a modern interdisciplinary field of research that deals with …

Determination of the absolute handedness, known as absolute configuration (AC), of chiral
molecules is an important step in any field related to chirality, especially in the …

The vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of the two enantiomers of a chiral molecule
are of equal magnitude and opposite sign: ie mirror‐image enantiomers give mirror‐image …

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

Stimulated by the increasing importance of chiral molecules as pharmaceuticals and the
need for enantiomerically pure drugs, techniques in chiral chemistry have been expanded …

Although optical activity in chiral molecules was discovered almost two centuries ago, it was
not until the early 1970s that optical activity in vibrational spectra was observed. Thanks to …

Chiroptical methods represent indispensable tools for structural studies of chiral
coordination compounds. Numerous applications in asymmetric catalysis, chiral recognition …

In this chapter, new developments and main applications of vibrational circular dichroism
(VCD) spectroscopy reported in the last 5 years are described. This includes the …

Abstract The application of Chiral Technology, or the (extensive) use of techniques or tools
for the determination of absolute stereochemistry and the enantiomeric or chiral separation …

Cyclic peptides show a wide range of biological activities, among others as antibacterial
agents. These peptides are often large and flexible with multiple chiral centers. The …
