"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." (Chirality, June 2008)

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.
