The Molecular Basis of Optical Activity: Optical Rotatory Dispersion and Circular Dichroism

By Elliot Charney

Demonstrates how the phenomena of optical activity are treated by spectroscopists and theoreticians. Bridges the gap between chiroptical observations and underlying physical laws. Emphasizes the treatment of optical activity as absorptive processes in which the radiation-molecule interaction results in a transition which carries the molecule from one quantum state to another.
