Abstract

The crystal structure of d-tartaric acid published recently by Beevers and Stern makes possible an absolute determination of the structural configuration of the d-tartaric acid molecule. This is all the more important, as an assignment of absolute configuration to a molecule related to tartaric acid and therefore to a whole class of optically active molecules on the basis of a physical theory of optical activity, seems to be open to criticism.
