Raman active symmetric O-H stretching modes are detected and assigned for the first time in isolated methanol, ethanol and methyl lactate trimers, providing insights into cluster structure, vibrational assignments and hydrogen-bond mediated couplings.

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) is the extension of circular dichroism (CD) from electronic to vibrational transitions in molecules. In this review, we present the basic concepts of VCD and focus on its growing strength for stereochemical applications. There are three

This study reports the development of novel chiral sensors based on the self-assembly of perfunctionalized beta-cyclodextrins (beta-CD) on a quartz crystal microbalance transducer for real time chiral recognition. Ten chiral sensors immobilized with mercaptyl perfunctionalized beta-cyclodextrins were found to exhibit

An RF and field gradient pulse sequence is presented permitting the single-scan volume-selective spectral editing of the signals of coupled spins. The attribute "single scan" means that the editing of resonance lines is performed in each accumulation or phase cycling

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding competes with an intramolecular hydrogen bond when methanol binds to an alpha-hydroxyester. Disruption of the intramolecular OH...O=C contact in favour of a cooperative OH...OH...O=C sequence is evidenced by FTIR spectroscopy for the addition of methanol to the
