Circular dichrosim

A sterically hindered homoleptic samarium(lll) tris(amidinate), Sm[HC (NC6H3Pr2-2,6)2]3, was obtained by oxidation of the corresponding Sm(II) precursor (cf. Scheme 54). Magnetic data and the results of low temperature absorption, luminescence, and magnetic circular dichrosim spectra have been... 

The vast literature associated with flavanoid chemistry precludes a discussion here but two valuable reviews have been published. The first reviews a number of spectroscopic techniques used for flavonoid analysis, with a strong emphasis on NMR spectroscopy (plus also mass spectrometry, vibrational spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and circular dichrosim (CD)) . The second review deals with NMR methods that have been successful in the characterization of phenolic acids and flavonoids from plant extracts that have not been separated or isolated as single components. The emphasis of the article is 2-D NMR methodology and a variety of experiments such as total correlated spectroscopy (TOCSY), COSY, nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY) and heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation (HMQC) are discussed . 

If some or all of the reactants or products of chemical and biological processes are chiral, then circular dichrosim (CD) detection may be the ideal tool for monitoring the kinetics of a reaction, and if the half-life of the reaction is of the order of milliseconds to seconds or even minutes then...

In addition, the circular dichrosim spectrum of diselenobis(benzoyl)-bridged bis(P-CD) 2 exhibits two positive Cotton effect peaks for the Lb and La transitions of phenyl group and a positive Cotton effect peak for the Se-Se transition. Therefore, we can deduce that the linker group in 2 is located at the exterior of CD cavity, where both the La and Lb transitions of phenyl chromophore are nearly perpendicular to the CD axis, resulting in the positive Cotton effect peaks. On the other hand, the Se-Se moiety is situated between the two narrow rims of dual CD cavities (Fig. 3). Hence, the transition moment of Se-Se bond is perpendicular to the CD axis, which consequently results in the positive Cotton effect [9].
