Abstract
The electrons of a molecule perturbed by external radiation induce dynamic electric and magnetic fields at the nuclei, superimposing to those of the perturbation. This behavior can be interpreted in terms of electromagnetic shieldings of the electrons on the nuclei, which are acted upon by effective Lorentz forces driving the vibrational motion. The absorption intensity of IR and VCD bands can be related respectively to electric and electro-magnetic nuclear shieldings, which are connected with electric polarizability, magnetizability, optical rotatory power and other second-order properties via equations discussed in the following talk.
