Abstract: | Optical activity of benzil as an example of optically active matter in the crystalline state only, not in solution, is studied for the wavelengths ranging from 0.320 m to 0.585 m. Previously measured experimental data are approximated by the theoretical set of formulas, which were derived by the use of the three coupled oscillators model. The earlier published formula consisting of six terms differed from the experimental data particularly in the wavelength region (0.380-0.510) m. This formula is replaced by the twelve-term formula which was computed by our specially worked computer program for the interpretation of the experimental data of optical activity based on the Marquardt-Levenberg method of the sum of least squares minimization. The possibility of molecular contribution to the resulting optical activity of benzil is mentioned. The use of Kramers-Kronig transforms for the determination of the circular dichroism curve based on the optical rotatory dispersion result is shown. The theoretically computed circular dichroism is compared with the available experimental data. |
