Description for Vibrational Optical Activity: Principles and Applications
Hardcover. This book provides a unified, comprehensive introduction to the field of vibrational optical activity (VOA) that gives both introductory and in-depth coverage to infrared vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and vibrational Raman optical activity (ROA). Num Pages: 398 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PNFS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 251 x 171 x 27. Weight in Grams: 804.
This unique book stands as the only comprehensive introduction to vibrational optical activity (VOA) and is the first single book that serves as a complete reference for this relatively new, but increasingly important area of molecular spectroscopy.
Key features:
- A single-source reference on this topic that introduces, describes the background and foundation of this area of spectroscopy.
- Serves as a guide on how to use it to carry out applications with relevant problem solving.
- Depth and breadth of the subject is presented in a logical, complete and progressive fashion.
Although intended as an introductory text, this book provides in depth coverage of this topic relevant to both students and professionals by taking the reader from basic theory through to practical and instrumental approaches.

About Laurence A. Nafie
Laurence Nafie is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Syracuse University where, as a faculty member since 1975, he has been a leading world authority on VOA. He confirmed experimentally the first observation of infrared VCD, was the first to propose and measure Fourier transform VCD, and is the discoverer of several of the forms of ROA. He has also contributed to the theoretical foundations of both VCD and ROA. For nearly four decades, he has carried out research in the field of VOA and in 1996 co-founded the company BioTools for the commercialization of advanced spectroscopic instrumentation, including VCD and ROA spectrometers and services. He was also the founding Editor of the journal Biospectroscopy that subsequently merged with Biopolymers, and he is currently Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy.
Reviews for Vibrational Optical Activity: Principles and Applications
“In any case, once practicing something like the VOA, one should read the manual. And I can hardly imagine a better one than the book of Laurence Nafie.“ (Chirality, 2012)
