Abstract

In the theoretical descriptions of natural and magneto‐optical activity it is customary to average classically over molecular orientations. We develop a theoretical description of the two phenomena that includes the correct quantum mechanical representation of the rotational motion in order to find out whether or not the customary procedure is correct. We find that the inclusion of the quantum mechanical description of the rotational motion leads to the same result in the theory of optical activity and magneto‐optical activity as the naive classical averaging over molecular orientations.

The Verdet constants of the hydrogen and acetylene molecules and their dispersions as a function of wavelength were calculated by means of an ab initio STOJG molecular orbital method. The results are in good agreement with experiment.
