Matrix-isolation vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy of chiral 1-phenyl-1-propanol†
Abstract
Matrix Isolation IR and VCD spectroscopy is used to characterize the self-aggregation of the title compound. It is shown that only the IR spectral region of the OH-/CH-stretching modes is sensitive to hydrogen bonding interactions and that the fingerprint region is not notably affected. In contrast, some characteristic VCD spectral features can be identified in the fingerprint region.
