Biomolecular structrure and interactions

With advanced computational methods vibrational spectra of large and complicated molecules can be better related to the structure.

New spectroscopic techniques

In resonance, Raman and Raman optical activity signals increase, revealing not only geometry, but also electronic structure of molecules.

Fundamental theory development

Some vibrational circular dichroism spectra of metal complexes are unusually enhanced. Then spectral features cannot be explained within the usual Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
