This book provides an introduction to the important methods of chiroptical spectroscopy in general, and circular dichroism (CD) in particular, which are increasingly important in all areas of chemistry, biochemistry, and structural biology. The book can be used as a text for undergraduate and graduate students and as a reference for researchers in academia and industry, with or without the companion volume in this set. Experimental methods and instrumentation are described with topics ranging from the most widely used methods (electronic and vibrational CD) to frontier areas such as nonlinear spectroscopy and photoelectron CD, as well as the theory of chiroptical methods and techniques for simulating chiroptical properties. Each chapter is written by one or more leading authorities with extensive experience in the field.

Unter Zirkulardichroismus (CD) versteht man die spezifisch unterschiedliche Absorption von links- und rechtszirkular polarisiertem Licht durch bestimmte Moleküle. CD-Effekte lassen sich in Abhängigkeit von der Wellenlänge messen und spektroskopisch auswerten. Dieser Band erläutert Theorie und Anwendung der CD-Spektroskopie insbesondere für Biomoleküle. Ausführlich behandelt werden Anwendungen auf den Gebieten der organischen Stereochemie und der Biopolymere. Geschrieben von anerkannten Spezialisten! (06/00)

This book describes the physics behind the optical properties of plasmonic nanostructures focusing on chiral aspects. It explains in detail how the geometry determines chiral near-fields and how to tailor their shape and strength. Electromagnetic fields with strong optical chirality interact strongly with chiral molecules and, therefore, can be used for enhancing the sensitivity of chiroptical spectroscopy techniques. Besides a short review of the latest results in the field of plasmonically enhanced enantiomer discrimination, this book introduces the concept of chiral plasmonic near-field sources for enhanced chiroptical spectroscopy. The discussion of the fundamental properties of these light sources provides the theoretical basis for further optimizations and is of interest for researchers at the intersection of nano-optics, plasmonics and stereochemistry.
