In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful techniques for
the determination of absolute configurations (AC), as it does not require any specific UV/vis …

This book details chiroptical spectroscopic methods: electronic circular dichroism (ECD),
optical rotatory dispersion (ORD), vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and vibrational …

Since the pioneering efforts of Nolte, Okamoto and Green, the field of chiral helical polymers
has made significant inroads. Here, we review recent advances made in the design …

A main focus of physical chemistry and related disciplines targets a detailed and
fundamental characterization of intermolecular interactions. Interests are manifold and range …

Two chiral derivatives of 18-crown-6, namely the host molecules 2, 3-diphenyl-and 2-phenyl-
