Infrared Rotatory Dispersion of Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions of Chiral Molecules

The absolute configuration of molecules with a chiral center can be established by a new empirical procedure: nematic phases of liquid‐crystalline compounds become cholesteric on dissolution of a chiral “guest substance”. The sign of the measured Reflection Cotton Effect provides information whether...

Description
Summary:The absolute configuration of molecules with a chiral center can be established by a new empirical procedure: nematic phases of liquid‐crystalline compounds become cholesteric on dissolution of a chiral “guest substance”. The sign of the measured Reflection Cotton Effect provides information whether the three ligands of greatest priority a > b > c (see priority scheme) are arranged clockwise or counterclockwise.
