Cotton effect
Cotton effect[′kät·ən i′fekt] (analytical chemistry) The characteristic wavelength dependence of the optical rotatory dispersion curve or the circular dichroism curve or both in the vicinity of an absorption band. Cotton effect
Cot·ton ef·fect (kot'ŏn), the positive and negative displacement from zero of the rotation of plane polarized monochromatic light and the change of monochromatic circularly polarized light into elliptically polarized light in the immediate vicinity of the absorption band of the substance through which the light passes.
