Molecular spectroscopy and chirality

This cluster of papers focuses on the application of chiroptical spectroscopic methods, such as vibrational circular dichroism and optical rotation, combined with computational techniques like density functional theory and NMR, for the determination of absolute configuration, conformational analysis, and stereochemistry in organic compounds, particularly natural products. The cluster also explores the role of chiroptical spectroscopy in structure elucidation and its use in studying the chiral properties of molecules.
