Abstract

The various theories of optical activity are applied to the differential Raman scattering of circularly polarized light by optically active molecules. In particular, the ‘one electron’ theory provides simple symmetry rules which enable the dissymmetric environments of functional groups with well-defined ‘fingerprints’ in the Raman spectrum to be probed, and this could yield more detailed conformational and structural information than the o.r.d. and c.d. bands of dissymmetrically perturbed chromophores.
