Electronic circular dichroism prediction on monomeric and dimeric γ-lactone derivatives: An important role of conformational averaging
The electronic circular dichroism (ECD) of a series of monomeric and dimeric γ-lactones was investigated using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and simplified TDDFT. Given the inherent conformational flexibility of these compounds, a multi-conformer conformational replica exchange sampling technique (CR...
