Abstract

FTIR methods for measuring optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) and circular dichroism (CD) were developed. The measurements of both phenomena are accomplished by means of various techniques. The study of ORD makes use of linearly polarized IR radiation while that of CD requires a circular polarizer (retarder) able to convert linearly polarized IR radiation into circularly polarized one. Examples of induced cholesteric solutions are shown.
