Motivation

Proprietary and Confidential American Chemical Society

2

The understanding of chiral molecules with major relevance in biology, pharmacology, catalysis, nanotechnology, optics and photonics.

Limitations of ECD:• Dark in the far UV.

Advantages of TPCD:• Allows access into an unexplored

spectral UV region.

Theoretical-Experimental Approach

TPCD was theoretically predicted in 1975.

J. Chem. Phys. 1975, 62, 1006. //J. Chem. Phys. 1975, 63, 1348.J. Chem.Phys., 2006 , 125, 064113.

TPCD was revisited and expanded in 2006.

Conclusions

The magnetic transition dipole moment contribution to is

strongly enhanced by the twist in -electron delocalization in

conjugated chiral molecules.
