Abstract
The results of the theory of interaction of light with anisotropic samples are summarized and specialized for describing CD of isotropic media. The CD spectrum can be interpreted as a sum of contributions of absorption bands localized in the “chromophores” of a molecule. “Chromophores” are classified by their contributions to the CD and absorption bands and models for determination of absolute configurations, the sector rules, helicity rules, exciton chirality method and quantum mechanical calculations are presented. Contributions of vibrational progressions in CD and absorption are discussed. Experimental applications are given. A detailed spectroscopic analysis of the CD and UV spectra of bilirubin by polarized spectroscopy and exciton chirality method is presented.
