✦ Synopsis

A discussion is attempted of the validity of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation which is characterized as an asymptotic analysis leading to a semiclassical theory of molecular structure. It is suggested that there are inherent defects in the resulting semiclassical theory which will limit its utility in the explanation of highly accurate experiments involving molecules.

## Abstract Theory is presented for determining the effects of band structure on electronic CD spectra. In this development, the effect of the first‐order correction to the Born‐Oppenheimer approximation is considered. This removes the unrealistic feature of identical CD and absorbance spectral ban
