Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) Spectroscopy – Training Services

Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) Spectroscopy – Training Services provides specialized training on the use of VCD for determining the stereochemistry and chiral properties of molecules. The course covers the fundamental principles of vibrational circular dichroism, including the interaction of chiral molecules with circularly polarized infrared light. Participants will learn about instrumentation, sample preparation, and experimental design for obtaining high-quality VCD spectra. Emphasis is placed on spectral interpretation, data analysis, and applications in organic chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biomolecular research. Case studies illustrate the use of VCD in stereochemical assignments, conformational analysis, and enantiomeric purity determination. Hands-on sessions provide practical experience in operating VCD spectrometers and analyzing complex spectral data. By the end of the training, participants will be proficient in applying VCD spectroscopy for advanced chiral analysis in research and industry.
