Vacuum ultraviolet natural and magnetic circular dichroism measurements have added significantly to our knowledge of the geometric and electronic structure of molecules and have provided a better understanding of the correct approach for theoretical calculations. In this review, I define natural and magnetic circular dichroism, and discuss information obtained with these techniques. The instrumentation for vacuum ultraviolet natural and magnetic circular dichroism is reviewed, from its beginning with conventional sources to the present time use of synchrotron radiation. The future possibilities and challenges for these measurements are examined with particular reference to making measurements to higher energies.
