Synopsis

Understand how light rotation reveals the structure of liquids and how it shifts with wavelength, temperature, solvent, and concentration.

This reference work gathers data on the optical rotation of organic liquids, showing how observed and specific rotations vary with experimental conditions. It provides a structured classification of substances and a comprehensive set of tables, symbols, and methods for interpreting rotatory power. The edition also includes a bibliography and context from earlier research, helping readers apply these measurements to real compounds and prepared solutions.

  • How to read and compare optical rotation data across different wavelengths and temperatures
  • How solvents and concentration influence rotatory power for many organic substances
  • How to identify and classify compounds based on their rotational behavior
  • Practical guidance for using the data in research and analytical work
Ideal for chemists, students, and laboratories that study stereochemistry, solution behavior, and the practical use of rotary power data. This edition supports careful measurement, cross‑checking results, and applying historical data to modern investigations.
