The optical activity in the n—** transition of a series of ketones is studied in absorption and emission. For a num-ber of ketones the comparison of the experimental CD and CPL spectra reveals marked differences: both the magnitude of the integrated opticalactivity and the band shape may be utterly different in absorption and emission. In this paper a relation is laid between these phenomena. The often large discrepancy between the value of the rotational strength in absorption and fluorescence (for some compounds up to sign) points to a large distortionof the** state of ketones with respect to their ground state. On theother hand it is shown from general principles that a negative value of the ratio Rabs/Rem requires a change of sign ineither the CD or the CPL curve, ie, can cause a bisignate Cotton effect. To get a better insight in the ob-served phenomena, a model is constructed to predict the qualitative band forms of the CD and CPL. Based on the large shift in equilibrium geometrybetween ground and excited state, the model makes use of an expansion of the electronic rotational strength about those points of normal coordinate space where the Franck-Condon overlap for a particular vibronic transition is peaked. When a linear relationship between the rotational strength and one normal coordinate is assumed, the observed band shapes of CD and CPL of the ketones studied can be successfully explained. In addition to a better understanding of the origins of bisignate Cotton effects, this study leads to the conclusion that the optical activity in the n—* 7r* transition of ketones still can be understood with the relatively simple theoryof Moffitt and Moscowitz, provided proper allowance is made for a legitimate role of the excited state.
