Abstract:
A semiempirical theory of optical activity of saccharides is developed that (a) goes beyond previous empirical treatments, (b) yields calculated NaD rotations which correlate well with experimental data, and (c) accounts for a characteristic c.d. band observed for polysaccharides in the vacuum u.v. spectrum.
