Abstract
- Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy exhibits significant potential in the study of (bio)molecules as it encodes information on their molecular structure, chirality, and conformations. Furthermore, the method reveals details on excited electronic states when applied under resonance conditions. Here, we present a combined study of the far from resonance (FFR)-ROA and resonance ROA (RROA) of a single relatively small molecular system. Notably, this study is the first to employ the density functional theory (DFT) analysis of both FFR-ROA and RROA spectra. This is illustrated for cobalamin derivatives using near-infrared and visible light excitation. Although the commonly observed monosignate RROA spectra lose additional information visible in bisignate nonresonance ROA spectra, the RROA technique acts as a complement to nonresonance ROA spectroscopy. In particular, the combination of these methods integrated with DFT calculations can reveal a complete spectral picture of the structural and conformational differences between tested compounds.
