SpecDis: Quantifying the Comparison of Calculated and Experimental Electronic Circular Dichroism Spectra

Torsten Bruhn, Anu Schaumlöffel, Yasmin Hemberger et al. · 26 Mar 2013

This article outlines theory and practice of the comparison of calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) curves to determine the absolute configuration of chiral molecules. The focus is on the evaluation of excited-state calculations giving hints at the identification of the correct bandwidth and the application of the so-called "UV shift" as a correction…

The use of X‐ray crystallography to determine absolute configuration

H. D. Flack, G. Bernardinelli · 8 Oct 2007

Essential background on the determination of absolute configuration by way of single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) is presented. The use and limitations of an internal chiral reference are described. The physical model underlying the Flack parameter is explained. Absolute structure and absolute configuration are defined and their similarities and differences are highlighted. The necessary conditions on…

ECD cotton effect approximated by the Gaussian curve and other methods

Philip J. Stephens, Nobuyuki Harada · 30 Apr 2009

To determine the absolute configuration of chiral compounds, theoretical calculations of ECD spectra have been extensively carried out, where the shape of component CD Cotton effects was approximated by the Gaussian distribution curve. However, in some articles, errors are found in the equations of Gaussian curve expressing CD Cotton effects. In this short review, the…

Lanthanide Circularly Polarized Luminescence: Bases and Applications

Francesco Zinna, Lorenzo Di Bari · 16 Oct 2014

Lanthanide (III) luminescence is very characteristic: it is characterized by narrow emission bands, large Stokes shift, and a long excited state lifetime. Moreover, chiral lanthanide complexes can emit strongly circularly polarized light in a way that is almost precluded to purely organic molecules. Thanks to the sensitivity and specificity of the Ln circularly polarized luminescence…

Good Computational Practice in the Assignment of Absolute Configurations by TDDFT Calculations of ECD Spectra

Gennaro Pescitelli, Torsten Bruhn · 20 Apr 2016

Quantum-mechanical calculations of chiroptical properties have rapidly become the most popular method for assigning absolute configurations (AC) of organic compounds, including natural products. Black-box time-dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) calculations of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra are nowadays readily accessible to nonexperts. However, an uncritical attitude may easily deliver a wrong answer. We present to…

Chirality template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Chirality format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Chirality template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Chirality use?
Chirality uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Chirality 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Chirality?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Chirality document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Chirality template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Chirality format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Chirality?
Chirality is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Chirality template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Chirality PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Chirality template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Chirality template cost?
You can start writing in the Chirality template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Chirality PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
