Abstract
We report extremely strong chirality transfer from a chiral nickel complex to solvent molecules detected as Raman optical activity (ROA). Electronic energies of the complex were in resonance with the excitation-laser light. The phenomenon was observed for a wide range of achiral and chiral solvents. For chiral 2-butanol, the induced ROA was even stronger than the natural one. The observations were related to so-called quantum (molecular) plasmons that enable a strong chiral Rayleigh scattering of the resonating complex. According to a model presented here, the maximal induced ROA intensity occurs at a certain distance from the solute, in a three-dimensional "ring of fire", even after rotational averaging. Most experimental ROA signs and relative intensities could be reproduced. The effect might significantly increase the potential of ROA spectroscopy in bioimaging and sensitive detection of chiral molecules.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
