چکیده
An optically transparent thin-layer electrochemical (OTTLE) cell with a locally extended optical path has been developed in order to perform vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy on chiral molecules prepared in specific oxidation states by means of electrochemical reduction or oxidation. The new design of the electrochemical cell successfully addresses the technical challenges involved in achieving sufficient infrared absorption. The VCD-OTTLE cell proves to be a valuable tool for the investigation of chiral redox-active 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. Quantum-chemical calculations show that increased mixing b...
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...

The π-conjugated tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) annulated ligand was introduced into a dicyanometallate for the first time, leading to the synthesis of the versatile redox-active dicyanideferrite building block [(n-Bu)4N][Fe(TTFbp)(CN)2] (H2TTFbp = N-(2-(4,5-bis(methylthio)-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-5-(picolinamido) benzo[d][1,3]dithiol-6-yl) picol inamide).

متن کاملSynthesis and chiroptical properties of layer-block dendrimers
A series of optically active, tartaric acid-based, monodisperse dendrimers 1 4 was prepared. The central core and branching junctures of these dendritic compounds were made up from phloroglucinol units and the surface sectors used were 4-tert-butylphenoxy moieties. The optically active elements, which were derivatives of either (D)or (L)-tartaric acid, served as the chiral linker branches of th...
