Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) technique successfully revealed the absolute configuration of the biased helix of perfluoroalkyl chains in solution with the aid of theoretical calculations, which was supported by an X-ray crystallographic study.

Seven chlorine-containing orcinol derivatives (2-8) and orcinol (9) have been isolated from diseased bulbs of the edible lily Lilium maximowiczii, and their structures have been elucidated. Six of the chlorinated orcinol derivatives (2, 4-8) showed antifungal activity. Because organochlorine compounds are rare in terrestrial higher plants, their biosynthetic origin was examined. These compounds were shown to be induced in intact bulb scales by UV irradiation or by inoculation with the pathogenic

The vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) technique was applied to carbohydrates and produced a glycoside characteristic VCD band, which was named the "glycoside band." It confirmed that this vibration was related to anomeric configurations of carbohydrates in the case of the d-series by means of isotope substitution. This band is defined as a negative, sharp, and intense VCD band at around 1145 cm-1, exhibited by d-sugars with an axial alpha-glycosidic linkage in the 4C1 conformation. As applica
