title: Theoretical study of sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy off electronic resonance on limonene chiral liquids.
abstract: The sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) off electronic resonance on chiral liquids is analyzed using the approach of antisymmetric nonresonant vibrational Raman scattering tensor calculation, which is based on the direct Taylor expansion of electronic transition moments in vibrational normal coordinates. A single-excitation configuration interaction treatment is applied to compute the SFVS off electronic resonance for (R)-limonene molecules, and the model spectra compare favorably with experimental data. This direct evaluation approach may provide a method of computing antisymmetric nonresonant vibrational Raman polarizabilities and predicting and assigning the SFVS off electronic resonance on chiral liquids.
