Optical Activity Determinations in Chemistry and Biochemistry

旋光光谱法正被完全纳入大学生 Trinity大学的化学课程一种旋光仪， 单色仪和连续光源提供了这样的应用， 显示光学活性的基本特征 测量在理解三维结构的手性 分子。无机配合物旋光度的测定 和有机化合物的旋光色散的测量 核苷的构象分析和碱基堆积中的曲线，以及 现代荧光光谱法测定纯对映体的比旋光度 方法是学生们正在经历的活动之一。

Spectropolarimetry is being fully integrated into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum at Trinity University. A polarimeter equipped with a monochrometer and continuous sources affords applications that demonstrate the essential characteristics of optical activity measurements in understanding the 3-dimensional structure of chiral molecules. Determination of the optical rotations of inorganic complexes and organic compounds, the measurement of optical rotatory dispersion curves in conformational analyses and base stacking of nucleosides, and the determination of the specific rotation of pure enantiomers by modern methods are among the activities students are experiencing.
