Abstract

Mid-infrared FTIR vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) of two exceptionally simple chiral three-membered ring molecules with C2 symmetry, (S,S)-oxirane-2,3-2H2 and (S,S)-cyclo-propane-1,2-2H2, have been obtained in the gas phase at 1 and 4 cm-1; resolution. The signs and relative intensities of the prominent VCD bands can be understood in terms of coupled C*H or C*D motions.
