Pump-Probe Spectroscopy Could Help to Control Chiral Molecules
BERLIN, Dec. 30, 2022 — An international research team at Freie Universität Berlin, in collaboration with colleagues at the DESY research center, Kiel University, and Kansas State University, has proposed a quantum-chemical calculation-based approach to induce and probe chiral vibrational motion using pump-probe spectroscopy. Such an approach aims provide a solution to achieve absolute asymmetric synthesis, or the control of product chirality using only light fields. It would also demonstrate a method to
