title: Vibrational circular dichroism and ab initio structure elucidation of an aromatic foldamer.
abstract: Ab initio calculations together with vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) are validated as very accurate tools for studying conformations and estimating conformational energies and helical handedness preferences of an entire, large (112 atoms), abiotic foldamer.
