Abstract
Adenosine is one of the building blocks of nucleic acids and other biologically important molecules. Spectroscopic methods have been among the most utilized techniques to study adenosine and its derivatives. However, most of them deal with adenosine in solution. Here, we present the first vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopic study of adenosine crystals in solid state. Highly regular arrangement of adenosine molecules in a crystal resulted in a strongly enhanced supramolecular VCD signal originating from long-range coupling of vibrations. The data suggested that adenosine crystals, in contrast to guanosine ones, do not imbibe atmospheric water. Relatively large dimensions of the adenosine crystals resulted in scattering and substantial orientational artifacts affecting the spectra. Several strategies for tackling the artifacts have been proposed and tested. Atypical features in IR absorption spectra of crystalline adenosine (e.g., extremely low absorption in mid-IR spectral range) were observed and attributed to refractive properties of adenosine crystals.

Abstract
We developed a microscopic scanning for vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy in which a quantum cascade laser is equipped with a highly focused infrared light source to attain a spatial resolution of 100 μm. This system was applied to the forewing of a European hornet to reveal how the protein domains are organised. Two-dimensional patterns were obtained from the VCD signals with steps of 100 μm. We scanned the 1500-1740 cm-1 wavenumber range, which covers amide I and II absorptions. Zone sequenced α-helical and β-sheet domains within an area of 200 μm2 in membranes close to where two veins cross. The sign of the VCD signal at 1650 cm-1 changed from positive to negative when probed along the zone axis, intermediated by the absence of VCD activity. The significance of this zone is discussed from the viewpoint of the mechanical properties required for flying motion. These features are unattainable using conventional FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) or FT-VCD methods with a spatial resolution of ∼10 mm2.

Abstract
Carotenoids tend to form supramolecular aggregates via non-covalent interactions where the chirality of individual molecules is amplified to the macroscopic level. We show that this can also be achieved for non-chiral carotenoid monomers interacting with polysaccharides. The chirality induction in canthaxanthin (CAX), caused by heparin (HP) and hyaluronic acid (HA), was monitored by chiroptical spectroscopy. Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra indicated the presence of multiple carotenoid formations, such as H- and J-type aggregates. This is consistent with molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) simulations of the supramolecular structures and their spectroscopic response.

Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy with a Classical Polarizable Force Field: Alanine in the Gas and Condensed Phases. Chemphyschem 2024; 25:e202300982. [PMID: 38318765 DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202300982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
Polarizable force fields are an essential component for the chemically accurate modeling of complex molecular systems with a significant degree of fluxionality, beyond harmonic or perturbative approximations. In this contribution we examine the performance of such an approach for the vibrational spectroscopy of the alanine amino acid, in the gas and condensed phases, from the Fourier transform of appropriate time correlation functions generated along molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories. While the infrared (IR) spectrum only requires the electric dipole moment, the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectrum further requires knowledge of the magnetic dipole moment, for which we provide relevant expressions to be used with polarizable force fields. The AMOEBA force field was employed here to model alanine in the neutral and zwitterionic isolated forms, solvated by water or nitrogen, and as a crystal. Within this framework, comparison of the electric and magnetic dipole moments to those obtained with nuclear velocity perturbation theory based on density-functional theory for the same MD trajectories are found to agree well with one another. The statistical convergence of the IR and VCD spectra is examined and found to be more demanding in the latter case. Comparisons with experimental frequencies are also provided for the condensed phases.

Abstract
This study reports the microscopic measurements of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) on four different insect wings using a quantum cascade laser VCD system equipped with microscopic scanning capabilities (named multi-dimensional VCD [MultiD-VCD]). Wing samples, including (i) beetle, Anomala albopilosa (female), (ii) European hornet, Verspa crabro flavofasciata Cameron, 1903 (female), (iii) tiny dragonfly, Nannophya pygmae Rambur, 1842 (male), and (iv) dragonfly, Symetrum gracile Oguma, 1915 (male), were used in this study. Two-dimensional patterns of VCD signals (~10 mm × 10 mm) were obtained at a spatial resolution of 100 μm. Measurements covered the absorption peaks assigned to amides I and II in the range of 1500-1740 cm-1 . The measurements were based on the enhancement of VCD signals for the stereoregular linkage of peptide groups. The patterns were remarkably dependent on the species. In samples (i) and (ii), the wings comprised segregated domains of protein aggregates of different secondary structures. The size of each microdomain was approximately 100 μm. In contrast, no clear VCD spectra were detected in samples (iii) and (iv). One possible reason was that the chain of stereoregular polypeptides was too short to achieve VCD enhancement in samples (iii) and (iv). Notably, the unique features were only observed in the VCD spectra because the IR spectra were nearly the same among the species. The VCD results hinted at the connection of protein microscopic structures with the wing flapping mechanisms of each species.

Abstract
The VCD spectra of chiral 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-1-one (8-substituted naphthalene-1-carboxamide, BIQ) were studied in KBr pellets. The X-ray diffractometry revealed that the Me, Ph, and pClPh BIQs crystalize in the monoclinic P21, while nBu, pMePh, and oMeOPh BIQs in the orthorhombic P212121 space group. Only the Me-BIQ crystal exhibits the presence of cyclic amide dimers, while the others contain chains of the amid group hydrogen bonds. For all BIQs, except pMePh, the most intense IR band in the 1750-1550 cm-1 region is located at ca. 1680 cm-1 and is accompanied by two weak ones at ca. 1618 and 1590 cm-1. For the pMePh derivative, four almost equally intense IR bands at 1662, 1639, 1614, and 1588 cm-1 are observed. This region of the IR spectra of BIQs, but pMePh, is well reproduced by calculations based on BIQ monomers. On the other hand, the complex IR pattern of pMePh is computationally reproduced when larger crystal fragments, like octamers, are considered. Registration of the VCD spectra enabled recognizing the complexity of IR contours at ca. 1680 cm-1 by the corresponding VCD motives. For (i) Me, Ph and pClPh (R)-enantiomers, two (+)(-) bands were distinguished and for (ii) nBu and pMePh ones, one VCD band with right-side asymmetry was found. For (iii) oMeOPh the VCD pattern cannot be unambiguously assigned. Thus, the VCD spectra in the ν(C=O) range diverse the studied compounds. Among the set of molecules, pMePh has exceptional crystal geometry. Therefore, its most intense ν(C=O) band position and shape can be connected with the geometry of the hydrogen bonds, interactions, and crystal packing. Interpretation of the VCD spectra is based on linear and packed BIQ octamers. This cluster model can reproduce the main features of the solid-state VCD of BIQs.

Abstract
Rapid measurements of vibrational linear dichroism (VLD) infrared spectra are shown to be possible by using stretched polymer films and an extension of existing instrumentation designed for vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy. Earlier techniques can be extended using additional inexpensive polymer substrates to record good-quality VLD spectra of a significantly wider range of compounds with comparatively short sample-preparation times. The polymer substrates used, polyethylene and polytetrafluoroethylene, are commonly available and inexpensive, and samples are more easily prepared than that for many earlier stretched-film and crystal studies. Data are presented for neutral hydrophobic organic molecules on hydrophobic films including acridine, anthracene, fluorene, and recently synthesized S-(4-((4-cyanophenyl)ethynyl)phenyl)ethanethioate. We extend the approach to polar or ionic species, including 2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, and sodium dodecyl sulfate, by oxidizing polyethylene films to change their wetting properties. The combination of new instrumentation and modified sample preparation methods is useful in basic spectroscopy for untangling and assigning complicated infrared spectra. Nevertheless, it is not a panacea as surface-adsorbed molecules are often not monodispersed, and higher analyte concentrations can lead to aggregation and resonance phenomena that have previously been observed for infrared spectra on surfaces. These effects can be assessed by varying the sample concentration. The focus of this paper is experimental, and detailed analysis of most of the spectra lies outside its scope, including some well-studied compounds such as acridine and anthracene that allow comparisons with earlier research.

Abstract
Molecular properties of coordination compounds can be efficiently studied by vibrational spectroscopy. The scope of Raman spectroscopy has been greatly enhanced by the introduction of Raman optical activity (ROA) sensitive to chirality. The present review describes some of its recent applications to study the coordination compounds. 3d and 4f metal complexes often absorb the excitation light, or exhibit luminescence. Therefore, effects caused in ROA spectra by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) must be taken into consideration.In 3d metal complexes ECD and circularly-polarized Raman scattering compete with the resonance ROA (RROA) signal. Pure RROA spectrum can thus be obtained by subtracting the so-called ECD-Raman component. CPL is frequently encountered in 4f systems. While it can mask the ROA spectra, it is useful to study molecular structure. These electronic effects can be reduced by using near-infrared excitation although vibrational ROA signal is much weaker compared to the usual green laser excitation scenario. The ROA methodology is thus complex, but capable of providing unique information about the molecules of interests and their interaction with light.

Abstract
Spectroscopic Mueller matrix ellipsometry is becoming increasingly routine across physical branches of science, even outside optics. The highly sensitive tracking of the polarization-related physical properties offers a reliable and non-destructive analysis of virtually any sample at hand. If coupled with a physical model, it is impeccable in performance and irreplaceable in versatility. Nonetheless, this method is rarely adopted interdisciplinarily, and when it is, it often plays a supporting role, which does not take benefit of its full potential. To bridge this gap, we present Mueller matrix ellipsometry in the context of chiroptical spectroscopy. In this work, we utilize a commercial broadband Mueller ellipsometer to analyze the optical activity of a saccharides solution. We verify the correctness of the method in the first place by studying the well-known rotatory power of glucose, fructose, and sucrose. By employing a physically meaningful dispersion model, we obtain 2π-unwrapped absolute specific rotations. Besides that, we demonstrate the capability of tracing the glucose mutarotation kinetics from just one set of measurements. Coupling the Mueller matrix ellipsometry with the proposed dispersion model ultimately leads to the precisely determined mutarotation rate constants and spectrally and temporally resolved gyration tensor of individual glucose anomers. In this view, Mueller matrix ellipsometry may stand as an offbeat yet equal technique to those considered classical chiroptical spectroscopy techniques, which may help open new opportunities for broader polarimetric applications in biomedicine and chemistry.

Abstract
Chirality discrimination at a binary toluene (organic)/water(aqueous) interface between R- or S-Tol-BINAP (2,2'-Bis(di-p-tolylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl) molecules and the water-soluble serine chiral specie is examined for the first time, using a combination of interfacial tension measurements and molecular dynamic simulations. Experimental interfacial measurements exhibit a clear chirality-controlled difference when a homochiral versus a heterochiral enantiomeric pairs are introduced at the interfaces. The related molecular dynamics simulations support the experimental results and provide further molecular insight of intermolecular interactions at the interfaces. The results indicate that interfacial tension measurements can capture the preferential interactions which exist between different pairs of enantiomers at the binary interfaces, opening up a new way for probing chirality discrimination at liquid-liquid interfaces.

Abstract
Solid-State Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) can be used to determine the absolute structure of chiral crystals, but its interpretation remains a challenge in modern spectroscopy. In this work, we investigate the effect of a twofold screw axis on the solid-state VCD spectrum in a combined experimental and theoretical analysis of P21 crystals of (S)-(+)-1-indanol. Even though the space group is achiral, a single proper symmetry operation has an important impact on the VCD spectrum, which reflects the supramolecular chirality of the crystal. Distinguishing between contributions originating from molecular chirality and from chiral crystal packing, we find that while IR absorption hardly depends on the symmetry of the space group, the situation is different for VCD, where completely new non-local patterns emerge. Understanding the two underlying mechanisms, namely gauge transport and direct coupling, will help to use VCD to distinguish polymorphic forms.

Abstract
Here, we report a medium-to-polymer anomalous chiral transfer in supramolecular polymerization of a tetraphenylporphyrinbased achiral hydrogen-bonding monomer ( TPP ) in a chiral medium of 5-cyanobiphenyl CB* . A mixture of TPP in ( R )- CB* ([ TPP ] = 7.7 mol%) at 40 °C gave a columnar oblique LC mesophase, where the individual columns were composed of an optically active helical supramolecular polymer of TPP as a consequence of a successful medium-to-polymer chiral transfer. Meanwhile, upon dilution of CB* with achiral 5-cyanobiphenyl CB , the optical activity of the system showed an anomalous bell-shaped dependency on the composition of CB* / CB , where the g abs value of 0.049 at CB* / CB = 50/50 was 6.0 times larger than the g abs value of CB* alone. Such anomalous chiroptical amplification in CD is most likely due to a change in the stacking geometry of TPP in the oblique columnar LC upon lateral compression.

Abstract
Confinement within supramolecular systems is the leading technology to finely tune guest functional properties. In this communication we report the synthesis of a chiral supramolecular cage able to bias the helicity of a perfluorinated carbon chain hosted within the cage. We monitor the phenomenon of chiral induction by Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) experiments complemented by DFT calculations over the possible conformers.

Abstract
Lactic and malic acids are key substances in a number of biochemical processes in living cells and are also utilized in industry. Vibrational spectroscopy represents an efficient and sensitive way to study their structure and interactions. Since water is the natural environment, proper understanding of their molecular dynamics in aqueous solutions is of critical importance. To this end, we employed Raman spectroscopy and Raman optical activity (ROA) to study the conformation of l-lactic and l-malic acids in water (while varying pH, temperature, and concentration), with special emphasis on their double hydrogen bonding dimerization propensity. Raman and ROA experimental data were supported by extensive theoretical calculations of the vibrational properties and by additional experiments (IR absorption, vibrational circular dichroism, and NMR). Conformational behavior of the acids in water was described by molecular dynamics simulations. Reliability of the results was verified by calculating the vibrational properties of populated conformers and by comparing thus obtained spectral features with the experimental data. Calculations estimated the incidence of H-bonded dimers in water to be low in lactic acid and comparable to monomers in malic acid. The "hybrid" approach presented here reveals limitations of relying on the experimental spectra alone to study dimer formation.

Abstract
Chiral molecules possess enantiomers that have non-superimposable chemical structures but exhibit identical nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. This feature prevents the use of NMR spectroscopic methods for the determination of enantiomeric excesses (ee) of chiral molecules, using simple mixtures of their enantiomers. Recently, however, it was reported that the addition of a symmetrical prochiral molecule (a reporter or host) into a solution of chiral analyte can lead to estimation of ee through interactions involving rapid exchange of the chiral analyte (guest) in the formed host–guest complex. This is due to the ee-dependent splitting of NMR resonances of the prochiral host molecule based on averaging the chemical shift non-equivalency caused by the presence of a chiral guest. The mechanism is not dependent on diastereomer formation, and 1:1 host–guest complexes can also show ee-dependent NMR peak splitting. Prochiral molecules capable of ee sensing using the NMR technique are now referred to as so-called prochiral solvating agents (pro-CSAs). pro-CSAs represent a family of reagents distinct from the commonly used NMR chiral derivatizing reagents (where chiral auxiliaries are used to derivatize enantiomers to diastereomers) or chiral solvating agents (where chiral auxiliaries interact in an asymmetric manner with analyte enantiomers). pro-CSA methods are unique since neither pro-CSA nor NMR contains chiral factors, making the technique neutral with respect to chirality. Here, we review our recent work on this matter involving several different nominally achiral receptor molecules whose unique guest binding properties and solution characteristics (especially with regard to NMR spectroscopy) allow for the estimation of ee in the corresponding chiral guests.

Abstract
The supramolecular chirality of the hindwing of Anomala albopilosa (male) was investigated using a microscopic vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) system, denoted as MultiD-VCD. The source of intense infrared (IR) light for the system was a quantum cascade laser. Two-dimensional maps of IR and VCD spectra were taken by scanning the surface area (ca. 2 mm × 2 mm) of the insect hindwing tissue. The spectra ranged from 1500 to 1700 cm-1, and the maps have a spatial resolution of 100 μm. The distribution of proteins, including their supramolecular structures, was analyzed from the location-dependent spectral shape of the VCD bands assigned to amides I and II. The results revealed that the hindwing consists of segregated domains of proteins with different secondary structures: an α-helix (in one part of the membrane), a hybrid of α-helix and β-sheet (in another part of the membrane), and a coil (in a vein).

Abstract
Hydrophobic and volatile flavor molecules can be encapsulated inside cyclodextrins (CyDs). Inclusion complexes are frequently used in solid or dispersed states in preserved food and cosmetics. In this study, the solid-state structures of spray-dried inclusion complexes of l-menthol in α-CyD and β-CyD were analyzed using 13C solid-state NMR and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). The NMR signals of l-menthol and CyDs were identified in the physical mixture and the l-menthol inclusion complex of α- and β-CyD. The NMR signal of the isopropyl-methyl group of menthol in the α-CyD inclusion complex exhibited a large low-field shift, which suggested a steric hindrance between menthol and α-CyD. VCD exhibited specific changes in the intensity of bands corresponding to C-C vibrations in α-CyD and O-C stretching vibrations in l-menthol. Our results indicated that l-menthol specifically fitted the narrow space within α-CyD. The combined solid-state NMR and VCD analysis provided structural insights into the flavor inclusion complex in the solid-state.

Abstract
Chiroptical properties and spectroscopies are valuable tools to study chiral molecules and assign absolute configurations. The spectra that result from chiroptical measurements may be very rich and complex, and hide much of their information content. For this reason, the interplay between experiments and calculations is especially useful, provided that all relevant physico-chemical interactions that are present in the experimental sample are accurately modelled. The inherent difficulty associated to the calculation of chiral signals of systems in aqueous solutions requires the development of specific tools, able to account for the peculiarities of water-solute interactions, and especially its ability to form hydrogen bonds. In this perspective we discuss a multiscale approach, which we have developed and challenged to model the most used chiroptical techniques.

Abstract
A whole series of [Ln(H2O)4(Ala)2]26+ dimeric cationic lanthanide complexes with both L- and D-alanine enantiomers was synthesized. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 100 and 292 K shows the formation of two types of dimers (I and II) in crystals. Between the dimer centers, the alanine molecules behave as bridging (μ2-O,O'-) and chelating bridging (μ2-O,O,O'-) ligands. The first type of bridge is present in dimers I, while both bridge forms can be observed in dimers II. The IR and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of all L- and D-alanine complexes were registered in the 1750-1250 cm-1 range as KBr pellets. Despite all the studied complexes are exhibiting similar crystal structures, the spectra reveal correlations or trends with the Ln-O1 distances which exemplify the lanthanide contraction effect in the IR spectra. This is especially true for the positions and intensities of some IR bands. Unexpectedly, the ν(C=O) VCD bands are quite intense and their composed shapes reveal the inequivalence of the C=O vibrators in the unit cell which vary with the lanthanide. Unlike in the IR spectra, the ν(C=O) VCD band positions are only weakly correlated with the change of Ln and the VCD intensities at most show some trends. Nevertheless, this is the first observation of the lanthanide contraction effect in the VCD spectra. Generally, for the heavier lanthanides (Ln: Dy-Lu), the VCD band maxima are very close to each other and the mirror reflection of the band of two enantiomers is usually better than that of the lighter Lns. DFT calculations show that the higher the multiplicity the higher the stability of the system. Actually, the molecular geometry in crystals (at 100 K) is well predicted based on the highest-spin structures. Also, the simulated IR and VCD spectra strongly depend on the Ln electron configuration but the best overall agreement was reached for the Lu complex, which is the only system with a fully filled f-shell.

Abstract
The VCD method was applied for searching the origin of chirality selection in the asymmetric catalysis by Cu(ii) complexes. When 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionato was coordinated, it was transformed to a twisted chiral form under the steric control.
