Abstract
Previous measurements of the optical rotatory power of crystalline — NiS·6O in the visible spectrum have now been extended to cover the wave-length range from 0.25μ to 2.2μ. Circular dichroism and absorption measurements have also been made over the infra-red range. Striking anomalies in the rotatory dispersion curve appear at 0.69μ and particularly at 1.16μ, corresponding to absorption and circular dichroism maxima at these wave-lengths. The theoretical relation between rotatory power and dichroism is verified quite exactly and in detail, particularly with regard to the 1.16μ band.
