Explore how the rotation of plane-polarized light reveals the structure and behavior of organic substances.

This concise reference explains the practical facts and measurements researchers use in optical rotation studies.

Grounded in experimental findings, the book discusses the constants of rotation for active compounds, how concentration and temperature influence readings, and the role of hydrates and solvents. It also covers the design and use of measurement instruments, and the real-world considerations when interpreting rotation data.

What specific rotation means for different sugars and compounds, with examples from arabinose, xylose, rhamnose, and more.
How temperature, concentration, and time can change rotation and what to control in experiments.
Principles behind exact measurement, including instrument setup, calibration, and error considerations.
Practical notes on avoiding external influences like magnetic effects in precise observations.

Ideal for readers of chemistry and spectroscopy who need a clear, reference-style guide to optical rotation and its practical applications.
