Orientation left-handed

Looking from this side, i.e. in the direction of bj means choosing a directional sense. In the case shown above this is the direction of a right-handed screw, so we call this a right-handed orientation, in accordance with the orientation of thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand. The opposite case is a left-handed screw or a left-handed orientation.

At intervals you will find a summary and list of objectives. The summary will emphasise the important points covered by the material that you have read and the objectives will give you a check list of the things you should then be able to achieve. There are notes in the left hand margin, to help orientate you and emphasise new and important messages. 

Fig. 9. The right-handed (R) and left-handed (L) three-fold helices of i-PP. For each handedness, the two different orientations (up or down) with respect to the reference axis are shown. The heights of the methyl groups are expressed ic c/6 units...

The E. coli M41 mutant CPS (46) has a complex chemical sequence. Its repeating unit is an anionic hexamer a tetrasaccharide -A-B-C-D- in the main chain and a disaccharide -F-E- side chain, E attached to C (Table II). Polycrystalline and oriented fibers of the sodium salt of 46 have produced good diffraction data, with reflections up to 3 A resolution. Careful X-ray analysis60 has shown that the polymer forms a left-handed, smooth and sinuous, 2-fold helix of pitch 30.4 A. As shown in Fig. 39a, the main chain is fairly close to the helix axis. A notable observation is that side chain E-F, turned up toward the non-re-... 

The last electron could be placed in any of the 3 p orbitals, because these three orbitals are equal in energy. The final electron also could be given either spin orientation. By convention, we place electrons in unfilled orbitals starting with the left-hand side, with spins pointed up. 

Now, consider repeating these operations, but with the use of the observer s left hand to spin the nut in an anticlockwise direction as seen by the observer. It should be apparent that, in either orientation of the rod, the nut will now travel backward (toward the observer). This must suggest that an electron would be ejected in a reversed direction following excitation by a photon of opposite helicity, again mediated through the chiral interaction of the electron with the enantiomer s potential field. 

If there were a fourth C — Cl bond on the left-hand C, the bond dipoles would cancel out, producing a nonpolar molecule. Since it is not there, the molecule is polar. A similar argument is made for NH3, where three tetrahedrally-oriented N — H polar bonds are not balanced by a fourth, and CH2CI2, where two tetrahedrally oriented C — Cl bonds are not balanced by two others. This leaves nonpolar PC15, a symmetrical molecule in which bond dipoles cancel. 

Helical Chirality. Helicity is a special case of chirality in which molecules are shaped as a right- or left-handed spiral like a screw or spiral stairs. The configurations are designed M and P, respectively, according to the helical direction. Viewed from the top of the axis, a clockwise helix is defined as P, whereas a counterclockwise orientation is defined as M. Thus, the configuration of example 9 is defined as M.
