Abstract
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of chiral high-spin organic radicals are expected to show a strong intensity enhancement and are thought to be difficult to predict using state-of-the-art theoretical methods. Herein we show that the chiral triplet nitrene obtained from photochemical cleavage of N2 from enantiopure 2-azido-9H-fluorenol does not feature extraordinarily strong intensities and that the experimental spectra match nicely with calculated ones. Thereby, this study demonstrates the general feasibility of studies on chiral high-spin organics by matrix-isolation VCD.
