K-region trans dihydrodiols of benzo [c] phenanthrene, chrysene, pyrene, and dibenz [c, h] acridine have been resolved as their diastereomeric diesters with (-)-(menthy1oxy) acetic acid, and their absolute configurations have been assigned by the application of circular dichroism and exciton chirality methods. For these as well as the K-region trans dihydrodiol derivatives from five other hydrocarbons, a consistent pattern of physical properties has ...
