Abstract
A mathematical model has been developed which uses the theory of Hilbert spaces and the modified method of the principal components of the factor analysis to the determination of the minimum number of subspectra sufficient to describe a set of experimental CD curves of a series of structurally related compounds. The use of this method has been demonstrated on the CD spectra of nine cyclodipeptides containing (besides L-proline) glycine, L or D alanine, L or D valine, L or D leucine, and L or D tert-leucine, measured in acetonitrile and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. Relation is discussed between the calculated subspectra and the structural characteristics of the measured systems.
