Hard X-ray helical dichroism of disordered molecular media

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Malte Oppermann, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Dominik Kinschel, Oliviero Cannelli, Christian David, Jérôme Lacour

Chirality is a structural property of molecules lacking mirror symmetry that has strong implications in diverse fields, ranging from life sciences to materials science. Chirality-sensitive spectroscopic methods, such as circular dichroism, exhibit weak sig ...

Chiral control of spin-crossover dynamics in Fe (II) complexes

Majed Chergui, Malte Oppermann, Jérôme Lacour

Iron-based spin-crossover complexes hold tremendous promise as multifunctional switches in molecular devices. However, real-world technological applications require the excited high-spin state to be kinetically stable-a feature that has been achieved only ...

Ultrafast broadband circular dichroism in the deep ultraviolet

Majed Chergui, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Benjamin Bauer, Jérôme Lacour

The measurement of chirality and its temporal evolution are crucial for the understanding of a large range of biological functions and chemical reactions. Steady-state circular dichroism (CD) is a standard analytical tool for measuring chirality in chemist ...

Highly selective additions of hydride and organolithium nucleophiles to helical carbenium ions

Philip Pattison, Jérôme Lacour

Unsymmetrical cationic [4] helicenes react with hydride or organolithium reagents and the two diastereotopic faces can be discriminated with high efficiency (dr up to and higher than 49 : 1) ...
