Optically active additive (OAA) is an
organic or
inorganic material which, when
added to a coating,
makes that
coating react to
ultraviolet light. This...
- as "
optical activity."
Optical activity is reciprocal, i.e. it is the same for
opposite directions of wave
propagation through an
optically active medium...
-
instrument used to
measure optical rotation: the
angle of
rotation caused by p****ing
linearly polarized light through an
optically active substance. Some chemical...
- said to be “
optically active”.
Specific rotation is an
intensive property,
distinguishing it from the more
general phenomenon of
optical rotation. As...
-
compound or meso
isomer is an
optically inactive isomer in a set of stereoisomers, at
least two of
which are
optically active. This
means that
despite containing...
- such as in the
deuterated benzyl alcohol PhCHDOH;
which is
chiral and
optically active ([α]D = 0.715°), even
though the non-deuterated
compound PhCH2OH is...
- acid but also an
amount of
optically active 2-methyloctanoic acid,
which could only have
formed from
likewise optically active 2-methylheptyllithium with...
- The germanium-vacancy
center (Ge-V) is an
optically active defect in diamond,
which can be
created by
doping germanium into
diamond during its
growth or...
- conversion, by heat or by
chemical reaction, of an
optically active compound into a
racemic (
optically inactive) form. This
creates a 1:1

important tool in the
production of
optically active compounds,
including drugs.
Another term with the same
meaning is
optical resolution. The use of chiral...
