Determination of the absolute configuration of resolved enantiomers.

The article focuses on the importance of the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) technology in the pharmaceutical industry in the U.S. It states that VCD is a vital tool to identify the absolute configuration (AC) of enantiomers and it is used by pharmaceutical companies for molecular characterization of chiral molecules. It mentions that it is also a method for aligning the absolute stereochemistry of chiral molecules.
