    Non trivial chiroptical responses: experimental and theoretical investigations

    No full text
    In the past few years, our two groups of research have been collaborating on a number of projects dealing with the assignment of the absolute configuration (AC) of complex chiral molecules of phar- macological interest in the disordered phase. [1] These studies have been mainly carried out by means of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy and quantum mechanical (QM) calculations at the den- sity functional theory (DFT) level of approximation. Particular attention has been payed to non-trivial chiroptical responses due to conformational flexibility and solvation. Beside these shared activities, some more specific research fields have been investigated too. In par- ticular, the Bologna group has performed studies concerning the hyphenation of enantioselective HPLC methods with detection systems based on ECD [2] and the characterization of biomolecular recognition phenomena between drugs and target or carrier macromolecules. [3] The Salerno group has developed some skills in vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) [4] and chiral NMR [5] spectroscopies, thanks to the availability of a VCD spectrometer and previous studies concerning the non-linear response of molecules exposed to radiation.

    Collective dynamics in molten potassium: An inelastic x-ray scattering study

    No full text
    The high-frequency collective dynamics of molten potassium has been investigated by inelastic x-ray scattering, disclosing an energy/momentum transfer region unreachable by previous inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments. We find that a two-step relaxation scenario, similar to that found in other liquid metals, applies to liquid potassium. In particular, we show how the sound velocity determined by INS experiments, exceeding the hydrodynamic value by ≈30%, is the higher limit of a speedup, located in the momentum region 1<Q<3 nm−1, which marks the departure from the isothermal value. We point out how this phenomenology is the consequence of a microscopic relaxation process that, in turn, can be traced back to the presence of “instantaneous” disorder, rather than to the crossover from a liquid to solidlike response
