The Dispersion and other Chiral Discriminations
Before the time of Pasteur, the problem of optical isomerism, as Thomas Graham put it in 1842, ‘defeated every attempt at explanation’ [1]. The sodiumammonium salts of tartaric and racemic acid, Graham continu...

The Ligand Polarization Model for the Spectra of Metal Complexes
Investigations of the optical activity of chiral metal complexes, discussed in the preceding Chapter, have the notable feature that the one-electron static-field model virtually monopolised the independent-sys...

The Electronic Spectra, Optical Rotatory Power, and Absolute Configuration of O-Phenanthroline and 2,2′-Dipyridyl Complexes
The present work reports the circular dichroism spectra and the unpolarized light absorption of the tris-2, 2′-dipyridyl and the tris-1,10-phenanthroline complexes of Ni(II), Fe(II), Ru(II), Os(II), Ru(III) an...
