Chiral drugs are a major focus of pharmaceutical companies. This book presents the technique of Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy and discusses its applications to the structural characterization of chiral organic molecules. It also evaluates the advantages and limitations of the technique in determining molecular structure. "An extremely well-written book that achieves the authors' goal of being a comprehensive textbook. ? I highly recommend [the book] as the textbook of choice on this useful topic."-Chemistry World, May 2013
