As in assigning atomic charges, there is some ambiguity in defining atomic contributions to G′. Here, we divide off-diagonal terms equally between participant atoms.

The computed specific rotation angle for (R)-2-methyloxirane with the CADPAC program is 24 compared with an experimental value of 14.0, and the computed specific rotation angle for trans-(2R,3R)-dimethyloxirane is 45 compared with an experimental value of 58.8. The computed molar rotation angle for (S)-fluorooxirane is -36.
