A recent theory of the circular diclkoism induced in & absorption bands of an echird moIecde (A) in the presence of a chtial molecule (C) is re-esamined. The ICD theory for the case of a .fwed mutual orientation of (A) and (Cl is extended and applied t,o the case of a mutually random orientation of the two molecules. The tmahnent spans the sewed ICD effects of the change in the. CD spectrum of a chiral mok-cule induced by an achiral species. and optical activity changes due to the mutual perturbation of two chiral molecules. The macroscopic ICD effect arising from the differentti left and right circular radiation field in a chkal medium is considered, together with orderof-mzgnitude estimates of the LCD effects.

Craig and co-workers [l] reported recently a theoretical

description

of the optical

activity

induced

in an achiral nolecule,(A) by neighbouring chiral molecules (C), covering induced circular dichroism (ICD) effects [2-71. The theory is restricted to the case where the molecules (A) and (C) have a fmed. mutual orientation, and neither the intermolecular ICD for random mutual orientation nor U¯oscopic ICD due to the differential Lorentz field for -left and right circular. radiation in a chiral medium are considered: The initial [2] and most of the subsequent ~experimental studies of ICD [3-6]’ probably refer to a.preferred mutual orientationbetween the achiral and chiral nolecules,‘since the ICD is markedly temperature dependent in the cases where temperature effects have been studied [5,6]‘. However the.ICD of -the isotropic.octahedralmoLecLle [Mo(C&] in a, cholesteryl, ch.loride/choleste~~l nonanoate solvent is difficult to interpret on a fixed mutual orientation . basis, but not in terms of the. dirTerential Loienfz

The @factor of the first-order ICD [eq. (?jj, which refers to a fixed mutual orientation of the molecules (A) and (C), is expected to have an upper value of the :’ order g-factor typical for the single-molecule case of a symmetric ~~ornoph~re located in a dissymmetric molecular environment, e.g., xIW2. More generally the first-order ICD is attenuated by the, incomplete _ locking of the mutual orientation of (A) and (C) on a molecule- and time*average, the coexistence of,two or more preferred orientations, and by the intermolecular &stance factor, (RAG)-2 or (RAC)-3; dependent upon the particuIar term of eq. (4) dominant in the .ICD. In the cases studied [2-6] the ICDg-factor ranges up to =10V3. Eqs. (4)-(7) refer to the ICD af an acb.iraI’mo!ecuI~ irradiated with left .and right circularly polarised light of equal amplitudes. The amplitu.des of left and right circular :adiation;initiaIly equal at.incidence, become unequal in a chiral medium in proportion to the circular birefringence, and the differential Lorentz radiation field contributes macroscopically’an additional ted [7] to theIC!D g-f&or of an achirai solute (A), go&:FJ

As yet the macroscopic Lorentz-field ICD has been detected only in cholesteric solvents, where the cir- .’ cular birefringence is large [7].
