Sign language : The experimentally observed sign change of the optical rotation of ( S )‐methyloxirane when varying the wavelength of incident light from 589 to 355 nm is a result of zero‐point vibrational corrections. Agreement between theory and experiment is obtained when coupled‐cluster (CC3) equilibrium optical rotations are combined with the reported zero‐point vibrational (ZPV) contributions (see picture).
