The prediction of the long wavelength part of the spectra is of special interest. Semiempirical and ab initio calculations were performed on cyclohexandione derivatives, bicyclic lactams, the protein Ribonuclease A and androstan-bisporphyrins. The objective for the smaller molecules was to predict the absolute configuration of the compounds by comparing the calculated and experimental CD-spectra. The CD-spectrum of the cyclohexandione derivatives could qualitatively be reproduced with the semiempirical method CNDO/2S and with an ab initio method. The empirical octant-rule could also be successfully applied to these compounds and the predictions of the octant rule have been verified by the quantum chemical calculations. Calculations on bicyclic lactams have been performed with ab initio methods, which reproduced the experimental X-ray diffraction geometries and the experimental CD-spectra well. In the bicyclic lactams under consideration the planarity of the peptide group is disturbed by the rigid bicyclic skeleton.
