Photoelectron circular dichroism in gas phase (PECD)

Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) in gas phase is a novel type of spectroscopy, which presents surprising sensitivity to conformational effects in chiral systems. While classical photoelectron spectroscopy mainly responds to conformational effects in terms of energy level shifts, PECD coupled with synchrotron radiation, provides a rich and detailed response to tiny changes in electronic and structural properties by means of the intensity dispersion of the circular dichroism as a function of photoelectron kinetic energy.
