✦ Synopsis

Earlier work on optical activity in pure rotational spectroscopy is generalized to the more realistic model of the asymmetric top. The analog of the Rosenberg dispersion formula for the optical activity parameter, 8, is given for the J= 0 state of an asymmetric top. It involves only the coupling to the J= 1 manifold of states. The molecular parameters which determine the presence or absence of optical activity in pure rotational spectroscopy are displayed. These provide a reasonable alternate definition of chirality in the pure rotational region of the spectrum.

The theory of the optical activity of the asymmetric top in pure rotational spectroscopy is extended to near-resonant frequencies, where there is no analog of the Rosenberg dispersion formula except at zero intensity. Since the optical activity effects due to pure rotational motion are expected to b
