Abstract
The symmetry and chirality of field induced natural and magnetic optical activity are investigated with Barron's definition of chirality and the third principle of group theoretical statistical mechanics (g.t.s.m.). The results for several different external field symmetries are given for the point group R h(3) of achiral ensembles and for R(3) of chiral ensembles. The distinction is made between natural and magnetic optical rotation/dichoroism and the field symmetries necessary for these to appear are defined in both point groups. The analysis resolves some recent literature confusion and suggests new field induced dichroic phenomena.
