Chiroptical spectroscopy exploring interaction of the matter with polarized light provides many tools for molecular structure and interaction studies. We review some recent discoveries primarily in the field of vibrational optical activity. Technological development results in more sensitive vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), Raman optical activity (ROA) or circular polarized luminescence (CPL) spectrometers. Significant contributions to the field also come from the light scattering and electronic structure theories, and their computer implementations. Finally, new chiroptical phenomena have been observed, such as enhanced circular dichroism of biopolymers (protein fibrils, nucleic acids), plasmonic and resonance chirality‐transfer ROA experiments. Some of them are not yet understood or attributed to instrumental artifacts so far. Nevertheless, these unknown territories also indicate the vast potential of the chiroptical spectroscopy and make it even more challenging.
