Chirality, ubiquitous in biological systems, is the property of the non-superimposable
structures found in both macroscopic and nanoscopic objects. In the last ten years, the …

Chirality is a common phenomenon in nature, including the dominance preference of small
biomolecules, the special spatial conformation of biomolecules, and the biological and …

Ultrasmall peptide-protected gold nanoclusters are a promising class of bioresponsive
material exhibiting pH-sensitive photoluminescence. We present a theoretical insight into …

Functionalized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are macromolecular assemblies with a tunable
physicochemical profile that makes them interesting for biotechnology, materials science …

Effects of the conformational dynamics of 2-PET protective ligands on the electronic circular
dichroism (ECD) of the chiral Au38 (SC2H4Ph) 24 cluster are investigated. We adopt a …

The present study consists in a novel computational protocol to model the UV‐circular
dichroism spectra of solvated species. It makes use of quantum‐chemical calculations on a …

Flexible molecules and non‐idle environments can present severe problems in the
prediction of vibrational spectra. This work focuses on infrared and vibrational circular …

Ligand-protected gold clusters with an asymmetric nature have emerged as a novel class of
