Examples
Optical and spectroscopic effects connected to molecular chirality, like optical rotation, electronic circular dichroism, vibrational circular dichroism, Raman optical activity, Circularly Polarized Phosphorescence, Magneto-chiral birefringence, and Magneto-chiral dichroism:  

                                    

Determination of the absolute configuration (R or S) by ECD simulations 






Can MChD be measured on methyloxirane and Alanine?

Also, optical and spectroscopical effects induced by the presence of internal/external sources of magnetic field, like in Magnetic Circular Dichroism spectroscopy and Nuclear Spin Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy are considered

    

Can we use MCD to distinguish the L_a and L_b states of Adenine?

Is NSCD feasible? Would it be as informative as NMR? 

Advanced X-ray spectroscopies, in particular on X-ray absorption and dichroism effects accessible via state-of-the-art synchrotron and free-electron-laser technology, like e.g. (time-resolved) Near Edge Absorption Fine Structure  (NEXAFS, TR-NEXAFS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS, TR-XPS),  Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering, etc.

Can we use X-FEL technology to probe the ultrafast internal conversion of DNA bases?
