Magnetic vibrational optical activity in the resonance Raman spectrum of ferrocytochrome c

Abstract

The first observations of magnetic Raman optical activity are reported. Using a field of about 0.7T, Raman circular intensity differentials up to ±4×10−3 are induced in resonance Raman bands of ferrocytochrome c.
