With respect to Mislow papers, there are two references:
 Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1992, 31(4), 989-1007
 J. Math. Chem. 1995, 17(1), 35-53
 
 Also with respect to the rotational strenght (R), a better
 quantification takes into accoun the ansitropic and the
 isotropic contributions, and this can be done by using
 Kuhn's g-number (Kuhn, W. Trans. Faraday Soc. 1930, 26, 293)
 which is relates to R and D, so direct comparison of
 dissimilar chromophores is possible.
 
 Good discussions on this last topic are in the book
 "Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds" by E. L. Eliel et. al.
 
 Hope this helps.
