* in conjunction with ISCD-25 2013
Location and Date:
Saturday, July 6, 2013
Venue:
ShanghaiinstituteofOrganic Chemistry
Learn From Experts in the Field:
§ Underlying principles and function of VCD instrumentation,hands-onwith ChiralIR-2X? spectrometer
§ Sample preparation: best approaches
§ Instrument settings and optimization
§ Data collection and handling – liquids and solids
§ Calculating theoretical VCD/ROA spectra;, hands-on with ComputeVOA? and Gaussian
§ Confidence of assignment using CompareVOA? software: going beyond human-eye comparison
§ Troubleshooting: how to get it right?
