Abstract
The frequency dependent chirality parameter of a chiral chemical solution is derived as a function of the specific rotation and molar ellipticity analytically by solving Maxwell’s equations for a dispersive chiral medium. The specific rotations found by measurements in a wide range of frequencies for d-glucose solution is used to find the Condon model parameters for this important chiral chemical solution. The Cotton effect is analyzed with adequate accuracy in this Condon modulation as a summation term. The frequency dependent behaviors of the real and imaginary parts of the Condon model for chiral chemical solutions are similar to the measured data for the specific rotation and circular dichroism, respectively.
