Kurzbeschreibung
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.
A practical guide for using and fully leveraging MCD spectroscopy
This text introduces you to magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy and its use in the interpretation of molecular electronic spectra. The presentation enables you to clearly understand and visualize the optical spectroscopic effects presented by MCD measurements. In addition, the author highlights the added insights that experimental MCD spectra add to traditional absorption spectroscopy.
Following an introductory chapter, the text explores:
*
Polarized light
*
Theoretical framework and definition of MCD terms
*
Measurement of MCD spectra
*
Interpretation of MCD spectra
The author, with more than thirty years of experience in MCD spectroscopy, offers many practical considerations for experimental MCD measurements based on firsthand experience. Two chapters present more than forty selected case studies, including both diamagnetic and paramagnetic examples, which are presented in order to demonstrate the many uses of MCD measurements for the interpretation of electronic spectra in the vis-UV region and the formulation of electronic structure models.
Following the case examples is a chapter on vibrational and rotation-vibrational MCD in the IR and near IR region (MVCD) and MCD in the X-ray region (XMCD). The final chapter introduces magnetic linear dichroism (MLD) spectroscopy, an important related and complementary magneto-optical technique.
Focusing on how to use and fully leverage MCD spectroscopy, this text is recommended for all scientists who wish to understand this area of spectroscopy. The book's many case examples also make it ideal for graduate students studying spectroscopy, organometallic chemistry, nanotechnology, and bioinorganic chemistry.
