Abstract
Excellent agreement between the experimental and the quantum-chemically simulated Raman optical activity (ROA) spectrum of (+)-poly(trityl methacrylate) shows that the polymer backbone adopts a left-handed helical conformation while the trityl side groups display a left-handed propeller conformation. Thus ROA can be used to determine the complete structure of synthetic chiral polymers in solution.
