Comprehensive chiroptical spectroscopy : applications in stereochemical analysis of synthetic compounds, natural products, and biomolecules

This book introduces the important methods of chiroptical spectroscopy in general, and circular dichroism (CD) in particular, which are increasingly important in chemistry, biochemistry, and structural biology. It functions well as an undergraduate and graduate text, and as a research reference, wit...
