Lett. 70, 1085 (1993)] mentioned briefly that they had observed SFG from solution of chiral molecules, but it is not clear whether their SFG signal comes from chiral or achiral contribution. Recently, A. D. Buckingham and P. Fischer reported in the 219th ACS National Meeting [San Francisco, March, 2000, Paper No. 448 (to be published)] that they were not able to observe any chiral SFG signal in the solution used by Rentzepis et al. in Ref. [7].
