Abstract
In a short digression on fundamental principles of electrical-chemical coupling, the analysis of electrically induced optical changes in chemical systems is described. The discussion centers on the optical indication not only of rotational changes in electro-optically anisotropic systems, but also of chemical-conformational transitions in dipolar and ionic equilibria of macromolecules. Some experimentally particular useful criteria are suggested in order to differentiate between chemical and physical contributions to electro-optical signals.
