Abstract

We describe chiral rotational spectroscopy; a new technique that enables the determination of the individual optical activity pseudotensor components of chiral molecules, in a manner that reveals the enantiomeric constitution of a sample and provides an incisive signal even for a racemate. Chiral rotational spectroscopy could find particular use in the analysis of molecules that are chiral by virtue of their isotopic constitution and molecules with multiple chiral centers.
