The A Priori Prediction of Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectra: a New Approach to the Study of the Stereochemistry of Chiral Molecules
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 scaled following the procedure of Pulay and coworkers. VCD spectroscopy, together with a pri ori theoretical calculations, now affords a new technique for the study of the stereochemistry of chiral molecules.

Vibrational circular dichroism is a powerful technique to study the stereochemistry of chiral molecules, but often suffers from small signal intensities. Electrochemical modulation of the energies of the electronically excited state manifold is now demonstrated to lead to an order of magnitude enhancement of the differential absorption.

An important property of electromagnetic fields, which arises from the interaction between fields and chiral molecules, is called optical chirality. By enhancing this field property, while maintaining constant input power, we are able to increase absorption of circularly polarized light by chiral molecules of a certain handedness. This enhancement is achieved through the use of achiral plasmoni...
