Theoretical studies of conformational analysis and intramolecular dynamic phenomena

This review reports our computational studies of a variety of topics related to conformational analyses and intramolecular dynamic phenomena. Single and double bonds, open and ring systems, and chiral molecules devoid of chiral centers (atropisomers, propellers, scorpionates, helicenes, truxenes) will be reported. Studies that followed our contributions and that are related to them will also be cited. Some curious aspects such as the absence of influence of static fields on absolute chirality, the extension of CIP rules to supramolecular systems, libration of phenyl groups, and the barrier of 1,16-dehydro[6]helicene will be discussed.
