Abstract
Recent progress in the fields of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and magneto-optical rotatory dispersion (MORD) is reviewed and these techniques are contrasted with those of natural circular dichroism and optical rotatory dispersion. Apart from the fact that MCD and MORD do not require optically active compounds (optical activity being induced by the magnetic field), these physical tools offer spectroscopic information which is different or impossible to obtain by other means.
