What is Fundamentals of the Stereochemistry of Organophosphorus Compounds about?

Fundamentals of the Stereochemistry of Organophosphorus Compounds Historical Background Natural processes are subordinate to geometrodynamics -the theory describing physical objects, geometrical spacetime, and associated phenomena completely in terms of geometry, and her elder sister -symmetry. Symmetry/asymmetry is one of the basic concepts in modern natural science . Research into this field began in the Middle Ages, when the birefringent properties of calcite were discovered. In 1669, Bartholinus observed the double refractive properties of the calcite Iceland spar. Later, in 1801, the mineralogist Haui found that quartz crystals are enantiomorphic, representing mirror images of one another. In 1815, another French naturalist J.-B. Biot discovered that certain chemical compounds rotate the plane of a beam of polarized light . Biot constructed the first polarimeter and he also discovered that many natural compounds exhibit optical activity, that is, they rotate the plane of circularly polarized light. Studying crystals under a microscope, Biot discovered two types of crystals. The sample consisting of crystals of one type turned polarized light clockwise and that from another typ
