✦ Synopsis


Circular dichroism is an essential spectral property for probing chirality. 2] An interesting effect arises when an achiral guest chromophore is complexed in a chiral host. The guest becomes optically active, a phenomenon referred to as ªinducedº circular dichroism (ICD). [3±5] The spectroscopic information resulting from this interaction is unique, since sign and magnitude of the ICD signal depend on the relative orientation of the chromophore in the host.

5: A solution of [Mo(nor)(CO) 4 ] (300 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 3 c (336 mg, 0.80 mmol) in THF (30 mL) under argon. The yellow reaction solution was stirred for 12 h at ambient temperature. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (3 mL). This solution was purified by chromatography (SiO 2 , hexane/ethyl acetate 5/1) and the product solution was reduced in volume, yielding yellow crystals of 5.
