To establish the correlation between the optical rotation and the absolute structure of urea inclusion compounds (UICs), three pairs of enantiomorphic UICs were studied. This successful experimental elucidation of the handedness of UICs not only settled a question that has lasted half a century, but also showcased the feasibility of absolute structure determination by single crystal X-ray diffraction
为了建立
尿素包合物 (UIC) 的旋光度和绝对结构之间的相关性,研究了三对对映体 UIC。这次成功的实验阐明了UIC的旋向性,不仅解决了一个持续了半个世纪的问题,而且展示了单晶X射线衍射(SCXRD)绝对结构测定的可行性。
