Despite their potential, the relationship between chiral HOIP structures and their chiroptical properties, such as circular dichroism (CD) spectra, remains challenging to decrypt. This study introduces a simulation workflow based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent DFT (TD-DFT) to model the CD spectrum of the chiral 2D perovskite encapsulating S-1-(3-bromophenyl)-ethylamine (S-(3Br-MBA)₂PbI₄). The approach combines ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) with TD-DFT calculations evaluating the contributions on the whole chiral hybrid perovskite scaffold and those of the isolated ligands, allowing us to dissect the contributions to the CD spectrum of chiral ligands and of the metal-halide sublattice.
