Chiral RET — interactive orientation map

Interactive Map on Chirality in Resonance Energy Transfer and Downstream Handedness Effects

Map = chiral discrimination over all acceptor orientations. Set the acceptor with its sliders or by clicking the map; the 3D model shows the full geometry (drag to rotate).

Observable
kR − kS ∝ cos θDint · VEE · (μ̂D×μA)·R̂
Colour scale
Absolute = one fixed scale, comparable across all settings · Pattern = each frame rescaled to its own peak
Donor
angle of μD from R̂  (90° = canonical μD ⊥ R̂)
μD–mD angle. 0–90° one enantiomer; 90° achiral (blank); 90–180° the other.
Acceptor  (point shown in 3D)
angle of μA from R̂  (0 / 180° = head-to-tail, a node)
rotation of μA about R̂ (carries the enantioselectivity sign)
μD — ETDM of donor
mD — MTDM of donor
μA — ETDM of acceptor
R̂ — donor–acceptor axis
Rotatory strength  cos θDint = +1.00
Strength of this geometry vs global max: --
g at this acceptor orientation = --
θA  (0 = head-to-tail → 180)
φA  (0° → 360°)
−1+1 red: kR>kS · blue: opposite
drag to rotate · donor (bottom) → acceptor (top)
