Proline is a unique amino-acid, with secondary amine fixed within pyrrolidine ring providing specific structural properties to proline-rich biopolymers. Gas-phase proline possesses four main H-bond stabilized conformers differing by the puckering and carboxylic acid orientation. The latter defines two classes of conformation, whose large ionization energy difference allows conformer-class tagging via electron spectroscopy. Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) an intense chiroptical effect...

Structural changes at the molecular level, occurring onset of condensation, can be probed by angle-resolved valence photoelectron spectroscopy, which is inherently sensitive to electronic structure. For larger condensed systems like aerosol particles, observation intrinsic angular anisotropies in photoemission (β parameters) challenging due strong reduction their magnitude electron transport effects. Here, we use a less common, more observable form chiral asymmetry parameter perform...

Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is an intense orbital-specific chiroptical effect observed as asymmetries in the angular distribution of photoelectrons produced by photoionization randomly oriented pure enantiomers with circularly polarized light. After a broad introduction placing this context new physical chiral-sensitive methods, we review main characteristics PECD terms molecular dynamics. We stress also analytical capabilities to retrieve enantiomeric excesses (e.es.) and probe...
