29. A strong circular dichroism in the UV region is expected due to the presence of the chiral dopant at relatively high concentration. In fact, the signal saturates below 320 nm. The reflection band was also set in the NIR, far from the observed region, by adjusting the concentration of the chiral inductor (7% (w/w) in these samples).
