The response of a molecule to static and dynamic electromagnetic fields and intramolecular perturbations is reviewed within the framework of the Rayleigh-Schr€ odinger perturbation theory. A semiclassical approach is adopted, using quantized form of electronic operators and the nonquantized description of the electromagnetic fields via the Maxwell equations. The Bloch multipolar gauge has been used to define operators suitable to describe the molecular interaction with nonhomogneous timedependent perturbations. It is shown that the quantum mechanical theory of magnetic properties can profitably be proposed in terms of electronic current densities induced by an external magnetic field and permanent magnetic dipole moments at the nuclei. Theoretical relationships are reported to evaluate magnetizability, nuclear magnetic shielding, and nuclear spin-spin coupling, proving that the whole theory can be reformulated via the equations of classical electromagnetism, provided that the current density is evaluated by quantum mechanical methods. Emphasis is placed on the invariance of response properties in a translation of the coordinate system as a basic requirement for measurability. The connections among translational invariance, gauge invariance, and electron charge conservation are outlined, showing that they can be illustrated via quantum mechanical sum rules. A number of relationships describing the change of static and dynamic electromagnetic properties in a translation of the reference frame are reported.
A theoretical procedure has been developed and implemented to calculate the optical rotation of chiral molecules in ordered phase via origin-independent diagonal components j 0 xx ð2x; xÞ; j 0 yy ð2x; xÞ, j 0 zz ð2x; xÞ of the optical activity tensor and origin-independent components A a;bc ð2x; xÞ, for a 6 ¼ b 6 ¼ c, of the mixed electric dipole-electric quadrupole polarizability. Origin independence was achieved by referring these tensors to the principal axis system of the electric dipole dynamic polarizability a ab ð2x; xÞ at the same laser frequency x. The approach has been applied, allowing for alternative quantum mechanical methods based on different gauges, to estimate near Hartree-Fock values for three chiral molecules, (2R)-N-methyloxaziridine C 2 NOH 5 , (2R)-2-methyloxirane (also referred to as propylene oxide) C 3 OH 6 , and (R a )-1,3-dimethylallene C 5 H 8 , at two frequencies. The theoretical predictions can be useful for an attempt at measuring correspondent experimental values in crystal phase.
The effects of stacking aromatic units on the Verdet constant are analyzed by employing quantum chemistry calculations and are compared to the effects of oligomerization. Building stacked oligomers leads to enhanced Verdet constants, but still smaller than in the corresponding linear oligomers. Further enhancements appear when going from simple to fused-ring polyaromatic compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
