Abstract
The first computer simulation of the time-correlation functions of the intermolecular Coriolis and centrifugal forces reveals that these functions are different in the laboratory frame for (R)- and (S)-CHBrC1F and the racemic mixture. This (observable) laboratory-frame difference is due to the differential statistical interdependence in this frame of a molecule's rotation on its own translation in enantiomers and mixture.Keywords
