The Exciton Chirality Method in Vibrational Circular Dichroism
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interaction of two IR chromophores yields a strong vibrational circular dichroism couplet whose sign reflects the absolute configuration of the molecule. We present a method to determine absolute configuration of a chiral molecule based on this couplet without need of theoretical calculation. Not only can this method analyze various molecules whose absolute configuration is difficult to determine by other spectroscopic methods, but also it can significantly enhance

Fluorescence-Detected Exciton-Coupled Circular Dichroism: Scope and Limitation in Structural Studies of Organic Molecules
The potential of fluorescence-detected circular dichroism (FDCD) to extend the scope of the exciton chirality method is rooted in the increased sensitivity and selectivity of fluorescence as compared with absorbance measurements. In this paper, several practical aspects of FDCD are addressed with model compounds possessing a (1R,2R)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol skeleton and two chromophores attach...

متن کاملVibrational and electronic circular dichroism monitoring of copper(II) coordination with a chiral ligand.
Novel copper(II) coordination compounds with chiral macrocyclic imine ligands derived from R-/S-camphor were asymmetrically synthesized and characterized with the aid of chiroptical spectroscopies. Crystal structures of both enantiomers were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra were analyzed using a simplified exciton model as well as quantum ...
متن کاملThe A Priori Prediction of Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectra: a New Approach to the Study of the Stereochemistry of Chiral Molecules
A theory of Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) has been developed by the author and implemented at the ab initio self-consistent field (SCF) level of approximation. VCD spectra calculated from this theory for several small chiral organic molecules are in excellent overall agreement with experiment, when basis sets of adequate sophistication are used and when the ab initio SCF force fields are...
متن کاملAn Experimental Comparison of Vibrational Circular Dichroism and Raman Optical Activity with 1-Amino-2-propanol and 2-Amino-1-propanol as Model Compounds
Mid-IR vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and the corresponding Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra of 1-amino-2-propanol and 2-amino-1-propanol in neat solution are compared to yield insight into the dominant structural sensitivity of each technique. The ROA spectra for these isomeric compounds are quite similar while their VCD spectra are substantially different. The contrast between the r...
