Vibrational optical activity (VOA) is comprised of two closely related areas of molecular spectroscopy, infrared vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and vibrational Raman optical activity (ROA). Both of these areas were discovered experimentally in the early 1970s and have sinc…
This unique book stands as the only comprehensive introduction to vibrational optical activity (VOA) and is the first single book that serves as a complete reference for this relatively new, but increasingly important area of molecular spectroscopy. Key features:A single-source …
