RT Journal Article T1 Predicting the Helical Sense of Poly(phenylacetylene)s from their Electron Circular Dichroism Spectra A1 Fernández Rodríguez, Berta A1 Rodríguez Riego, Rafael A1 Rizzo, Antonio A1 Quiñoá Cabana, Emilio A1 Riguera Vega, Ricardo A1 Freire Iribarne, Félix Manuel K1 Helical Sense K1 Electron Circular Dichroism K1 Poly(phenylacetylene)s K1 Computational Study K1 TD-DFT AB The calculated ECD spectrum (time‐dependent density functional theory TD‐DFT) for small oligomers of polyphenylacetylenes (PPAs) show a very good match with the experimental spectra of the PPA polymers, particularly with the first Cotton band associated to the helical sense of the internal polyenic backbone. This has been proven with a series of PPAs representative of cis‐cisoidal, cis‐transoidal, compressed and stretched polyene backbones, with identical or opposite internal/external rotational senses and allows the prediction of the helical sense of the internal helix of a PPA directly from its CD spectra PB Wiley SN 1433-7851 YR 2018 FD 2018 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18878 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18878 LA eng NO B.
