Dextrorotation
Dextrorotation is the property of rotating plane polarized light clockwise.
Laevorotation is the opposite of dextrorotation.Compounds with these properties are said to have
optical activity and consist of
chiral molecules. Chiral centers that have opposite configurations rotate
polarized light the same number of degrees, but in opposite directions. If one molecule that has a chiral center with an "R" configuration rotates plane polarized light 25 degrees clockwise, its
enantiomer with the corresponding chiral center having the "S" configuration will rotate plane polarized light 25 degrees counter-clockwise. However it is not possible to determine whether any chiral center will be laevorotatory or dextrorotatory directly from its configuration.
Enantiomers have equal and opposite optical rotation, but both "R" and "S" stereocenters have the ability to be dextrorotatory or laevorotatory.

Lévogyre
En
chimie, une
molécule lévogyre (« qui tourne à gauche », du latin laevus, gauche) a la propriété de faire dévier le plan de
polarisation de la
lumière polarisée vers la gauche d'un observateur qui reçoit la lumière. (Plus précisément, l'observateur en question voit le plan tourner dans le sens contraire à celui des aiguilles d'une montre.)
