Experimental Aspects of Solid State Circular Dichroism

The interest of circular dichroism in the solid state is stimulated by several needs, such as the desire to get solvent free spectra, the insolubility of the sample or the intrinsic process in which the sample itself is prepared or manipulated. We approach the argument on the basis of the sampling technique, since each different case calls for specific care in getting proper results. Chirality 21:E28-E36, 2009. (C) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
