Abstract
Contemporary literature lacks a classical explanation for the infrared and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of chiral molecules. VCD spectra are primarily used to determine the absolute configuration of a chiral molecule by comparing experimental data with quantum mechanical calculations. However, classical treatments of IR and VCD spectra can offer some insights, such as the observation that the area of all bands of wavenumber-normalized absorbance above zero must be equal to the area below zero. Advanced techniques like dispersion analysis, which uses wave optics and dispersion theory, can be used to analyze the spectra of chiral substances.
