Abstract: | Confusion exists between the notion of a single molecule interacting with its environment, and the theoretical notion of an isolated molecule having no interaction with its environment. The space-inversion properties of the isolated-molecule model preclude optical activity: the model is therefore inadequate, leading to the idea that the environment provides the mechanism for generating optical activity. |
