Optical activity of oriented molecules
Abstract
The established theory of optical activity relates the activity to the mean electric dipole induced by the time-derivative of the magnetic field of the light wave and to the associated mean magnetic dipole induced by the time-derivative of the electric field. The results is adequate for the interpretation of the average activity in an isotropic medium, but not for components of the activity along different molecular axes. The theory is extended to include the effects of the electric dipole induced by the electric field gradient of the electromagnetic wave as well as that of the electric quadrupole induced by the electric field. The resulting expression for any component of the optical activity is independent of the choice of origin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
