Congrats to Fredde for passing her PhD today. Great work on matrix-isolation VCD spectroscopy for the characterization of chiral high spin nitrenes and their rearrangement products. #phdlife #proudpi @grk2376.bsky.social

Glad we could contribute to this groundbreaking work. #VCDspectroscopy helped elucidating the stereochemistry of the main product!

How complicated can it be to predict the #VCD of proline at different pH values? Deborah shows in her #firstfirstauthor paper in PCCP: Very! 🤯 Spoiler: The orientation of single H2O in large Pro-(H2O)n clusters affects the spectrum! Read more here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

On Dec 1st, Corentin successfully defended his PhD thesis after not much more than three years with us. Today was his last day and we had to say good bye. Wishing you all the best for the future in Finland. 🇫🇮

Out now in #PCCP: Our matrix-isolation #vibrationalCD study on chiral oxiranes, which revealed some drastic matrix effects that can significantly complicate spectra analysis. A qualitative microscopic picture helps explaining and getting round them. Read more here: doi.org/10.1039/D3CP...
