Question

Biological application of optical rotatory dispersion

Answer 1

Analytical applications of polarimetry, optical rotatory dispersion, and circular dichroism. Analytical Chemistry. Purdie and Swallows.

Optical rotatory dispersion
Optical rotatory dispersion can be used to find the absolute configuration of metal complexes. For example, when plane-polarized white light from an overhead projector is passed through a cylinder of sucrose solution, a spiral rainbow is observed perpendicular to the cylinder.
