What Does ECCD Stand For?
ECCD stands for Exciton Coupled Circular Dichroism
ECCD, or Exciton Coupled Circular Dichroism, is a spectroscopic technique that detects circular dichroism signals arising from excitonic interactions in chiral molecular systems. This method enhances the sensitivity and resolution of chiroptical measurements by exploiting the coupling between excitons, which are bound states of electrons and holes, and the molecular chirality of the sample. ECCD is particularly valuable in the study of complex assemblies, providing insights into structural properties, interactions, and electronic states of chiral molecules in supramolecular chemistry and biological systems.
