title: Shape-conserving enhancement of vibrational circular dichroism in lanthanide complexes.
abstract: The VCD spectra of lanthanide chelates with two chiral ligands display conserved sequences of bands throughout the Ln series. Some compounds (Tm, Yb) feature increased bands and strongly improved signal-to-noise ratios, an effect we dub Lanthanide Induced VCD Enhancement (LIVE).
