The magnitudes of dipole moment and molar Kerr constant of 1,2-dichloroethane as solute in carbon tetrachloride, previously recorded by Aroney, Izsak, and Le F�vre, are discussed in relation to internal rotation in the molecule. The results are found to be consistent with a mixture consisting of 31.3% of gauche-isomer and 68.7 % of trans-isomer. Estimation of the potential energy barriers restricting intramolecular rotation is attempted and the results found to be satisfactory.

The molar Kerr constant (35 x 10-12) and dipole moment (2.29 D) of 1,3-dichloroacetone in carbon tetrachloride are shown to be compatible with an equilibrium mixture of planar cis/non-planar gauche (6) and non-planar gauche/non-planar gauche (8) conformers with the latter predominating.

Measurements of the infinite-dilution dipole moment, molar Kerr constant and molar Cotton-Mouton constant of 1,4-dithiin dissolved in cyclohexane and carbon tetrachloride at 25�C are reported and analysed to provide information concerning the solution-state conformation, the polarizability anisotropy and the magnetic anisotropy of this molecule.

The 2D surfaces of potential energy, kinematic coefficients, components of the dipole moment, the heights of potential barriers, the energies of stationary torsional states, and the tunneling frequencies of hydroxyl and methyl groups in the methyl hydroperoxide molecule were calculated at MP2/CBS and CCSD(T)/Aug-cc-pVTZ levels of theory. Additionally, calculations of the 2D surface of zero point vibrational energy of the molecule in the harmonic and anharmonic approximations were performed at MP2/Aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. The zero point vibrational energy calculated in two approximations is summed up with the potential energy of the methyl hydroperoxide molecule, calculated at two levels of theory, and the resulting four outcomes of the refined potential energy are used to calculate the energies of stationary torsional states and tunneling frequencies. The results obtained are compared with the experimental and theoretical data presented in the literature to evaluate the efficiency of taking into account the zero point vibrational energy when examining the internal rotation in molecules.

The dielectric relaxation processes of acetone, cyclohexanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 4-heptanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride have been studied in the microwave region over a temperature range 10 to 60 °C. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.
