Element-SpecificSensitivity of Lanthanoid Ions toChiral Crystal Fields in K3[Ln2(NO3)9] Probed by 4f–4f Circular Dichroism

Abstract For chiral inorganic crystals composed of achiral components, chiral crystal fields around metal ions are expected to play a key role in the emergence of chiroptical properties. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra can serve as useful probes of such chiral crystal fields. Her...
