Short description
The book is a technical guide aimed at chemists and spectroscopists (graduate students and professionals) that presents a concise description of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy and how it has advanced the interpretation of molecular electronic spectra. This work in particular calls attention to the added dimension of how experimental MCD spectra adds important information to that gathered from traditional absorption spectroscopy.
