Circular Dichroism at Microwave Frequencies: Calculated Rotational Strengths for Transitions Up to J = 10 for Some Oxirane Derivatives.
Calculated dipole strengths and rotational strengths for microwave transitions in the range of 3-26 GHz are presented for six chiral small molecules. The molecules are the three chiral deuterated oxiranes, methyloxirane, trans-dimethyloxirane, and methylthiirane. Transitions which appear to be the best candidates for observation of circular dichroism in the microwave are identified. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
