title: Exploitation of the majority rules effect for the accurate measurement of high enantiomeric excess values using CD spectroscopy.
abstract: A new method for lowering the error of CD based methods for measuring high enantiomeric excess values is described, which exploits the majority rules effect exhibited by certain helical polymers. A proof of principle experiment was conducted.
