✦ Synopsis

A molecular level interpretation ofthe chiroptical effects observed in surface second harmonic generation from a chiral surface is presented. A Parker, Parr and Popie molecular orbital treatment is used to calculate the h~e~ola~zability of R-2,2'-dihydroxy-l,l'-binaphthyi (R-BN). The chiroptical spectra from monolayers of R-BN are calculated using various assumed molecular orientational distributions, and the model spectra compare favorably with experimental data.
