| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we have investigated magneto-chiral dichroism (MChD) and mechanical rotation-induced chirality.
We succeeded in observing MChD for photosynthetic bacteria and chiral chlorin J-aggregates, respectively. In addition, we constructed a novel MChD measurement system based on the pulse electromagnet, and proposed that peptide compounds with the exciton chirality should show MChD stronger than aromatic amino acids.
Fluid motions resulting from the mechanical rotation of a rotary evaporator were investigated by numerical analyses. Based on analyses of the circular dichroism spectra, we also calculated the supramolecular structure of the chiral J-aggregates of water-soluble porphyrins, and found that the helical chirality of the chiral J-aggregates was consistent with that of the calculated fluid motions.
