Abstract

The vibrational Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra of l-alanine in water, 1 N NaOH and 1 N HCl between 720 and 1500 cm−1 measured in backscattering are reported. Unlike the associated vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), the main ROA features are relatively insensitive to pH changes. Ab initio Raman and ROA intensities were evaluated using 6-31G and 6-31G* basis sets and found to agree remarkably well with the experimental parameters in the lower-frequency region.
