MCD Spectroscopy

MCD Spectroscopy

by Mason (Author)

Synopsis

The book is a technical guide for chemists and spectroscopists, and presents a concise description of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy and how it has advanced the interpretation of molecular electronic spectra.* Provides a practical guide to utilizing MCD spectroscopy for chemists starting in the field* Written by an expert with over twenty years of experience in the field* Helps the reader to visualize the optical spectroscopic effects presented by MCD measurements* Includes practical considerations for experimental MCD measurements based on the author's experience* Written as a general discussion of the subject matter, with illustrative examples provided and discussed in the case studies to show the breadth of application of MCD measurements.

Media Reviews
This book provides an excellent practical guide for using MCD spectroscopy. The author successfully highlights the important features of chiroptical properties that are associated with the presence of a strong magnetic field ... This book is highly recommended not only for those scientists who plan to actively study MCD spectroscopy in the near future, but also for scientists who wish to develop a deeper and more complete understanding of the field of optical spectroscopy.
