Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman optical activity (SEROA) is a promising method for analyzing chiral molecules' molecular chirality and structural changes. However, conventional SEROA measurements face challenges related to substrate stability, signal uniformity, and interference from electronic circular dichroism (ECD). Therefore, in this study, we present a uniform and stable substrate for SEROA measurements by utilizing Au nanoparticles on the Au nanofilm structure to confine hotspots to the film-particle junctions and minimize ECD interference. This method also uses the induction of chirality from chiral molecules to achiral molecules to overcome the limitation of chiral molecules in SEROA measurements, specifically their lower signal efficiency. Successful chirality transfer is demonstrated through distinguishable SEROA signals when the l/d-alanine mixture is present. Enantiomeric discrimination of different l/d-alanine ratios was achieved with linear responses in the circular intensity difference (CID). Altogether, the proposed chiral-induced SEROA on the AuNP_on_AuNF substrate shows promising potential for detecting and characterizing structural changes in biomolecules, thus making it a valuable tool for various research applications.

A Unique Case of Measurements under Strong Resonance versus Far-from-Resonance Conditions. J Phys Chem Lett 2024; 15:4913-4919.

Abstract
Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy exhibits significant potential in the study of (bio)molecules as it encodes information on their molecular structure, chirality, and conformations. Furthermore, the method reveals details on excited electronic states when applied under resonance conditions. Here, we present a combined study of the far from resonance (FFR)-ROA and resonance ROA (RROA) of a single relatively small molecular system. Notably, this study is the first to employ the density functional theory (DFT) analysis of both FFR-ROA and RROA spectra. This is illustrated for cobalamin derivatives using near-infrared and visible light excitation. Although the commonly observed monosignate RROA spectra lose additional information visible in bisignate nonresonance ROA spectra, the RROA technique acts as a complement to nonresonance ROA spectroscopy. In particular, the combination of these methods integrated with DFT calculations can reveal a complete spectral picture of the structural and conformational differences between tested compounds.

Abstract
In living organisms, carotenoids are incorporated in biomembranes, remarkably modulating their mechanical characteristics, fluidity, and permeability. Significant resonance enhancement of Raman optical activity (ROA) signals of carotenoid chiral aggregates makes resonance ROA (RROA), a highly selective tool to study exclusively carotenoid assemblies in model membranes. Hence, RROA is combined with electronic circular dichroism (ECD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), molecular dynamics, and quantum-chemical calculations to shed new light on the carotenoid aggregation in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) liposomes. Using representative members of the carotenoid family: apolar α-carotene and more polar fucoxanthin and zeaxanthin, the authors demonstrate that the stability of carotenoid aggregates is directly linked with their orientation in membranes and the monomer structures inside the assemblies. In particular, polyene chain distortion of α-carotene molecules is an important feature of J-aggregates that show increased orientational freedom and stability inside liposomes compared to H-assemblies of more polar xanthophylls. In light of these results, RROA emerges as a new tool to study active compounds and drugs embedded in membranes.

Abstract
Raman optical activity (ROA) is commonly measured with green light (532 nm) excitation. At this wavelength, however, Raman scattering of europium complexes is masked by circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). This can be avoided using near-infrared (near-IR, 785 nm) laser excitation, as demonstrated here by Raman and ROA spectra of three chiral europium complexes derived from camphor. Since luminescence is strongly suppressed, many vibrational bands can be detected. They carry a wealth of structural information about the ligand and the metal core, and can be interpreted based on density functional theory (DFT) simulations of the spectra. For example, jointly with ROA experimental data, the simulations make it possible to determine absolute configuration of chiral lanthanide compounds in solution.

Abstract
Resonance Raman optical activity (RROA) spectra with high sensitivity reveal details on molecular structure, chirality, and excited electronic properties. Despite the difficulty of the measurements, the recorded data for the Co(III) complex with S,S-N,N-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid are of exceptional quality and, coupled with the theory, spectacularly document the molecular behavior in resonance. This includes a huge enhancement of the chiral scattering, contribution of the antisymmetric polarizabilities to the signal, and the Herzberg-Teller effect significantly shaping the spectra. The chiral component is by about one order of magnitude bigger than for an analogous aluminum complex. The band assignment and intensity profile were confirmed by simulations based on density functional and vibronic theories. The resonance was attributed to the S0 →S3 transition, with the strongest signal enhancement of Raman and ROA spectral bands below about 800 cm-1 . For higher wavenumbers, other excited electronic states contribute to the scattering in a less resonant way. RROA spectroscopy thus appears as a unique tool to study the structure and electronic states of absorbing molecules in analytical chemistry, biology, and material science.

Abstract
An achiral chromophore can acquire a chiral spectroscopic signature when interacting with a chiral environment. This so-called induced chirality is documented in electronic or vibrational circular dichroism, which arises from the coupling between electric and magnetic transition dipoles. Here, we demonstrate that a chiroptical response is also induced within the electric dipole approximation by observing the asymmetric scattering of a photoelectron ejected from an achiral chromophore in interaction with a chiral host. In a phenol-methyloxirane complex, removing an electron from an achiral aromatic π orbital localised on the phenol moiety results in an intense and opposite photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) for the two enantiomeric complexes with (R) and (S) methyloxirane, evidencing the long-range effect (~5 Å) of the scattering chiral potential. This induced chirality has important structural and analytical implications, discussed here in the context of growing interest in laser-based PECD, for in situ, real time enantiomer determination.

Abstract
The infrared (IR) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of methyl β-D-glucopyranose in water were measured. Both implicit and explicit solvation models were utilized to explain the observed spectra. The vast body of existing experimental and theoretical data suggested that about eight explicit water molecules are needed to account for the solvent effects, supported by the current Quantum Cluster Growth (QCG) analysis. Extensive manual and systematic conformational searches of the molecular target and its water clusters were carried out by using a recently developed conformational searching tool, conformer-rotamer ensemble sampling tool (CREST), and the microsolvation model in the associated QCG code. The Boltzmann averaged IR and VCD spectra of the methyl β-D-glucopyranose-(water)n (n = 8) conformers in the PCM of water provide better agreement with the experimental ones than those with n = 0, 1, and 2. The explicit solvation with eight water molecules was shown to greatly modify the conformational preference of methyl β-D-glucopyranose from its monomeric form. Further analyses show that the result is consistent with the existence of long-lived methyl β-D-glucopyranose monohydrates with the additional explicit water effects being accounted for with the quantum mechanical treatment of the other seven close-by water molecules in the PCM of water.

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
Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy was used to study the conformation of the retinal chromophore in sensory rhodopsin II (SRII), which is a blue-green light sensor of microbes. The ROA spectrum consisted of the negative vibrational bands of the chromophore, whose relative intensities are similar to those of the parent Raman spectrum. This spectral feature was explained by the left-handed helical twist of the retinal chromophore on the basis of quantum chemical calculations. On the other hand, we found that the chromophore conformation based on the crystal structures of SRII has a right-handed helical twist, which does not agree with the observation. This specific result suggests that the consistency with chiro-optical properties can be a key criterion for the accurate prediction and/or evaluation of chromophore conformation in retinal-binding proteins.

Abstract
The conformational landscapes of two highly flexible monosaccharide derivatives, namely phenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (ph-β-glu) and 4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl β-D-glucopyranoside, also commonly known as gastrodin, were explored using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. For the infrared, Raman, and the associated vibrational optical activity (VOA), i.e., vibrational circular dichroism and Raman optical activity, experiments of these two compounds in DMSO and in water were carried out. Extensive and systematic conformational searches were performed using a recently developed conformational searching tool called CREST (conformer-rotamer ensemble sampling tool) in the two solvents. Fourteen and twenty-four low-energy conformers were identified at the DFT level for ph-β-glu and gastrodin, respectively. The spectral simulations of individual conformers were done at the B3LYP-D3BJ/def2-TZVPD level with the polarizable continuum model of the solvents. The VOA spectral features exhibit much higher specificity to conformational differences than their parent infrared and Raman. The excellent agreements achieved between the experimental and simulated VOA spectra allow for the extraction of experimental conformational distributions of these two carbohydrates in solution directly. The experimental percentage abundances based on the hydroxymethyl (at the pyranose ring) conformations G+, G-, and T for ph-β-glu were obtained to be 15%, 75%, and 10% in DMSO and 53%, 40%, and 7% in water, respectively, in comparison to the previously reported gas phase values of 68%, 25%, and 7%, highlighting the important role of solvents in conformational preferences. The corresponding experimental distributions for gastrodin are 56%, 22%, and 22% in DMSO and 70%, 21%, and 9% in water.

Abstract
Chirality plays a key role in many fields of natural sciences as well as life sciences. Chiral materials are widely developed and used for electrochemical chiral recognition. In recent years, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have been widely used as a novel carbon nanomaterial due to their excellent charge transfer properties, good biocompatibility, and low cost. The special structure of π-conjugated porphyrin attracts attention. Supramolecular self-assembly shows a way to construct chiral materials by self-assembling simple molecules into chiral composites. Herein, we demonstrate the self-assembly of achiral porphyrins induced by chiral carbon quantum dots assembled from L- and or D-tryptophan (L- and or D-Trp) with carbon quantum dots, resulting in 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-carboxyPheyl) (TCPP) self-assembled structure. The electrochemical chiral recognition of chiral self-assembled materials was studied using Phenylalanine (Phe) enantiomer as a chiral analyte. Electrochemical chiral recognition results showed that the chiral self-assembled materials induced by chiral templates have a good ability to discriminate Phe enantiomers. Therefore, this research provides a new idea for the synthesis of chiral composites and further expands applications to electrochemical chiral recognition.

Abstract
Recently, many studies have appeared in which the Raman optical activity (ROA) instrument was found to be convenient for measuring circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Typically, weak lanthanide luminescence including circular polarization could be detected. The new detection scheme is referred to as ROA-CPL spectroscopy. It is particularly useful when also the vibrational (ROA) itself is detectable as the molecule structure can be examined more reliably. In this review, development of this chiroptical approach and its applications in structural studies of biomolecules are summarized.

Abstract
Chiral metal complexes exhibit rich photophysical properties and are important for applications ranging from biosensing to photocatalysis. We present a combined experimental and computational approach leading to information about energies and transition moments of excited electronic states, documented on two chiral metal complexes. The experimental protocol for measurement of the resonance Raman optical activity comprises multiple techniques, i.e., absorption, circular dichroism, and polarized and differential Raman scattering. An accurate formula for subtraction of the interfering circular dichroism/polarized Raman scattering effect is given. An analysis of the spectra based on density functional theory calculations unveils the geometric and electronic structures of the molecules. Such insight into molecular electronic states of chromophores may be useful for understanding and tuning photochemical properties of metal-containing complexes, biomolecules, and supramolecules.

Abstract
The development of small organic CPL-active molecules with large luminescent dissymmetry factors is highly demanded due to their promising applications in chiroptical devices and sensors. This work describes the design and synthesis of a new family of CPL-active BF2 complexes, (Rp)/(Sp)-3a-3e, which were constructed by fusing a N̂O-chelated BF2 complex with [2.2]paracyclophane. These complexes display aggregation-amplified CPL with moderate dissymmetry factors values and moderate quantum yields both in solution and in the solid state. In addition, these photophysical properties were rationalized via X-ray diffraction and TD-DFT calculations.

Abstract
Resonance Raman Optical Activity (RROA) appeared as a natural extension of the nonresonance branch. It combines the structural sensitivity of chiroptical spectroscopy with the signal enhancement coming from the resonance of molecular electronic transitions with the excitation laser light. However, the idea has been hampered by many technical and theoretical problems that are being clarified only in recent years. We provide the theoretical basis and several examples documenting the problems, achievements, and potential of RROA, in particular in biomolecular studies.

Abstract
Helical and twisted silica nanoribbons, deposited in an in-plane direction and with a random orientation, on a quartz substrate showed chiral optical scattering, and the helical nanoribbons had a g-factor of the order of 10-2 below 250 nm. Their signs depend on the handedness of the nanohelices. The effect of the morphology and the orientation of the helices on the chiral optical scattering were investigated with simulations via the boundary element method.

Abstract
Intermolecular interactions sensitive to chirality occur in many biological events. We report a complex formation between a versatile vanadium-based probe and a chiral co-ligand monitored via the combination of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and Raman scattering. This "ECD-Raman" effect was discovered relatively recently and can be measured using a Raman optical activity (ROA) spectrometer. Simulated spectra based on experimental ECD and degree of circularity (DOC) values agree with the observed ones. Sensitive recognition of the chiral enantiopure co-ligand is thus enabled by a combination of resonance of the excitation light with the diastereoisomeric complex, co-ligand complexation, circular dichroism, and polarized Raman scattering from the achiral solvent. Relatively dilute solutions could be detected (10-4 mol dm-3), about 1000× less than is necessary for conventional ROA detection of the pure co-ligand and comparable to concentrations needed for conventional ECD spectroscopy. The results thus show that differential ECD-Raman measurements can be conveniently used to monitor molecular interactions and molecular spectroscopic properties.

Abstract
Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy was used to study the conformation of the retinal Schiff base chromophore in green-light-absorbing proteorhodopsin, which is a globally distributed light-driven proton pump of aquatic bacteria. The ROA spectrum consisted mostly of the negative vibrational bands of the chromophore, while the hydrogen out-of-plane mode (at 960 cm-1) appeared as the sole positive band. This distinct spectral feature was not explained by the twisted structure of the retinal Schiff base but was reproduced by the structural model in which the polyene chain on the β-ionone ring side was bent out-of-plane. The bent chromophore structure potentially couples with proton pumping through the motion of the sixth helix in contact with the β-ionone ring.

Abstract
Resonance Raman optical activity (RROA) possesses all aspects of a sensitive tool for molecular detection, but its measurement remains challenging. We demonstrate that reliable recording of RROA of chiral colorful compounds is possible, but only after considering the effect of the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) on the ROA spectra induced by the dissolved chiral compound. We show RROA for a number of model vitamin B12 derivatives that are chemically similar but exhibit distinctively different spectroscopic behavior. The ECD/ROA effect is proportional to the concentration and dependent on the optical pathlength of the light propagating through the sample. It can severely alter relative band intensities and signs in the natural RROA spectra. The spectra analyses are supported by computational modeling based on density functional theory. Neglecting the ECD effect during ROA measurement can lead to misinterpretation of the recorded spectra and erroneous conclusions about the molecular structure.

Abstract
Resonance Raman optical activity (RROA) is commonly measured as the difference in intensity of Raman scattered right and left circularly polarized light, IR -IL , when a randomly polarized light is in resonance with a chiral molecule. Strong and sometimes mono-signate experimental RROA spectra of several chiral solutes were reported previously, although their signs and relative intensities could not be reproduced theoretically. By examining multiple light-matter interaction events which can occur simultaneously under resonance, we show that a new form of chiral Raman spectroscopy, eCP-Raman, a combination of electronic circular dichroism and circularly polarized Raman, prevails. By incorporating the finite-lifetime approach for resonance, the experimental patterns of the model chiral solutes are captured theoretically by eCP-Raman, without any RROA contribution. The results open opportunity for applications of eCP-Raman spectroscopy and for extracting true RROA experimentally.

Abstract
Combination of optical activity with surface-enhanced Raman scattering has been a dream of physical chemists for a long time. We report a measurement protocol based on silver colloids and aromatic linkers where chiral acids could be detected in concentrations of about 10-5 M. We explain the mechanism by binding and self-assembly of the linkers into chiral aggregates on the silver surface. Following the "sergeants-and-soldiers" principle, the chirality is determined by the relatively minor acidic component. Such detection of biologically relevant molecules may be useful when other methods, such as electronic circular dichroism, are not sensitive enough. In the future, variations of the chemical structure of the linker or other conditions are needed to provide a more specific signal allowing one to better discriminate among the optically active molecules.

Abstract
In this article the Raman and Raman Optical Activity (ROA) spectra of a series of enantiomeric twisted anthracenes are presented. The evolution of their vibrational spectra is understood in the context of the variation of π-electron delocalization as a result of the twisting imparted by the belt structure and in terms of the modulation of the resonance Raman/ROA effects which are photonic properties also tuned by anthracene twisting. The Raman/ROA vibrational spectra are simulated by several theoretical approaches to account for their vibrational and electronic properties including the theoretical evaluation of resonance effects. We furthermore incorporate a vibrational and ROA activity dissection analysis as provided in the Pyvib2 program valid to establish correlations among vibrational modes of different molecules with different electronic structures and equivalent vibrational dynamics. This paper is one of the very first attempts to use ROA spectroscopy in π-conjugated molecules with twisted and helical morphologies that contrast with the well-known cases of ROA studies of chiral helicenes in which the impact of π-electron delocalization in the electronic/photonic/vibrational (Raman/ROA) spectra is negligible.

Abstract
Previously, we and other laboratories have reported an unusual and strong Raman optical activity (ROA) induced in solvents by chiral dyes. Various theories of the phenomenon appeared, but they were not capable of explaining fully the observed ROA band signs and intensities. In this work, an analysis based both on the light scattering theory and dedicated experiments provides a more complete understanding. For example, double-cell magnetic circular dichroism and magnetic ROA experiments with copper-porphyrin complex show that the induced chirality is observed without any contact of the solvents with the complex. The results thus indicate that a combination of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) with the polarized Raman scattering is responsible for the effect. The degree of circularity of solvent vibrational bands is a principal molecular property participating in the event. The insight and the possibility to predict the chirality transfer promise future applications in spectroscopy, chemical analysis and polarized imaging.

Abstract
Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra recorded for a chiral naphthalene diimide derivative (nBu-NDI–BINAM) dissolved in a series of solvents exhibit strong solute to solvent induced chirality with: (1) dominating bands of solvents, (2) nBu-NDI–BINAM resonance ROA (RROA) bands which are barely visible, (3) monosignate RROA Solvent spectra with an unexpected sign concordant with that of the ECD band of the resonant electronic state, (4) bisignate RROA bands for a few solvents, and (5) superposition of non-resonant and resonant ROA bands of the chiral solvents. The unusual ROA enhancement was explained in terms of resonance energy transfer with resonant Raman emission. The surprising RROA sign-switching was found to be due to specific conformational equilibria where one solute conformer dominates in the ground and the other in the first excited singlet state, and, the signs of the related ECD bands of these two conformers are opposite. Unusual solute to solvent induced chirality in ROA comes from specific conformer equilibria in the ground and the excited states.![]()
