Application of the polarizability theory to the calculation of anisotropic circular dichroism spectra

We derive a general expression of the circular dichroism spectra of anisotropically distributed chiral molecules in the polarizability framework by introducing a tensorial rotational strength. Example calculation is carried out on an acridine-substituted Tröger base. It is shown that the circular di...

Description
Summary:We derive a general expression of the circular dichroism spectra of anisotropically distributed chiral molecules in the polarizability framework by introducing a tensorial rotational strength. Example calculation is carried out on an acridine-substituted Tröger base. It is shown that the circular dichroism is very sensitive to the direction propagation of the light beam.
