    Abstract:
    UV, circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectra were recorded for a set of four related [2.2.1] bicyclic compounds ((1S,4S)-and (1R,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, namely (1S)- and (1R)-camphor (), (1S,4R)-4,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one, (1S)-dehydro-epicamphor (), (1S,4S)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,5-dione, (1S)-5-oxocamphor (), (1S,4R)- and (1R,4S)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dione, (1S)- and (1R)-camphorquinone ()) and a set of three related [2.2.2] bicyclic compounds (1S,4S)-bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2,5-dione (saturated diketone ()), (1R,4R)-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-en-2,5-dione (unsaturated diketone ()), ((1S,4S)-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-en-5(S)-ol-2-one (which we refer to as unsaturated hydroxy-ketone ()). For the latter three compounds also mid-IR vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra were recorded and are presented. Time-Dependent Density Functional (TD-DFT) calculations provide a satisfactory interpretation of both absorption and emission chiroptical spectra and permit insight into ground and excited state electronic properties. We discuss the applicability of the octant rule or of other approximated models to rationalize the observed sign of the CPL.
