The Jahn-Teller effect in magneto-optical spectroscopy of axial radicals.

A model has been developed to describe the effects of the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect on the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and absorption spectra of axial molecules. It treats spin-orbit and Jahn-Teller coupling on equal footing and, in terms of the latter, allows for both first- (linear) and second...
