Abstract
The optical activity of chiral molecular systems arises from differential interactions with left and right circularly polarized radiation. The various manifestations of optical activity may be classified according to whether they involve the absorption, scattering, or emission of radiation. Circular dichroism (CD) is an absorptive phenomenon; Rayleigh and Raman circular intensity dif f erentials (CID’s) 1 may be classified as scattering phenomena; and circular polarization of luminescence, or circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), refers to the differential (spontaneous) emission of left and right circularly polarized radiation. The optical activity manifested in fluorescence detected circular dichroism (FDCD) measurements arises from the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarized radiation, athough the experimental observables are emission intensities.2 The fundamental feature common to all molecular chiroptical phenomena is the ability of the (chiral) molecular systems to sense the helicity of incident radiation (in absorption and scattering) or to emit radiation with a net helicity (ellipticity or partial circular polarization).
