Le Fbre and Solomons recorded the Kerr constants Bγ of carbon tetrachloride and benzene over the wavelength range 375-625 nm to make possible the use of these solvents in examining the anisotropic polarizabilities of coloured solutes. Since, however, unsuspected hydrogen bondings may occur between π-electrons of benzene and protons from a dissolved molecule, and/or because of the various risks of chemical changes when basic substances are studied in carbon tetrachloride, an additional and more inert medium became desirable. Cyclohexane seemed to be the least reactive of the liquids which are available in quantity and easily purified, but no information on the variation of its B constant with wavelength was in the literature; the present measurements were therefore made to fill this gap.

The electric birefringences displayed by the above two liquids have been measured photometrically at wavelengths between 375 and 625 mμ, and Kerr constants Bλ computed relatively to benzene, for which B589 is 0.410 x 10-7 at 25�. Empirical equations connecting Bλ values and refractive indexes with X are developed, and compared in applicability with others from the literature. Data necessary for the determination of molar Kerr constants of coloured solutes in the named solvents are also recorded.

Experimental dipole moments and molar Kerr constants are reported and analysed for di(pyridin-4-yl), di(pyridin-3-yl) and di(pyridin-2-yl) ketone as solutes in carbon tetrachloride or cyclohexane at 298 K. The preferred conformation of di(pyridin-4-yl) ketone is found to be very similar to those previously deduced for benzophenone and several 4,4'- disubstituted benzophenones. For di(pyridin-3-yl) and di(pyridin-2-yl) ketone three analogous conrotatory structures having different relative dispositions of the nitrogen atoms are considered. In the case of di(pyridin-3-yl) ketone the cis-trans and trans-trans arrangements are approximately equally abundant, but for di(pyridin-2-yl) ketone there is a strong preference for the trans-trans conformation.

The molar Kerr constants of diazoaminobenzene and its 4,4'-dimethyl, 4,4'-clichloro, 4,4'-dibromo, and 4-nitro derivatives at infinite dilution in benzene at 25� are recorded. No abnormalities in the molar Kerr constant-concentration curves due to dimeric association can be found with any of the above solutes.

Electric dipole moments and molar Kerr constants are reported for seven organic carbonates (dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, vinylene carbonate, diphenyl carbonate, di-p-tolyl carbonate, di-o- tolyl carbonate and t-butyl phenyl carbonate) examined as solutes in carbon tetrachloride at 25�. The experimental data are analysed to provide information on the probable solution-state conformations.

Ab initio molecular orbital theory has been used to deduce the preferred gas-phase conformations of vinyl formate and vinyl acetate. In addition, experimental dipole moments (1030μ/Cm) and molar Kerr constants (1027mK/m5 V-2 mol-1) at 25�C are reported for both molecules as solutes in carbon tetrachloride: vinyl formate (5.07, + 48.1) and vinyl acetate (5.70, + 3.8). The preferred solution-state conformations indicated by the analysis of these results are shown to be consistent with the theoretical predictions.

Measurements are reported of the infinite-dilution dipole moments and molar Kerr constants of dimethyl sulfone and of the four aryl methyl sulfones p-XC6H4S(02)CH3 (X = H, Cl, Br or NO2) dissolved in carbon tetrachloride or dioxan at 298 K and under light of 589 nm. The experimental data are analysed to obtain information on the solution-state conformations in relation to steric and electromeric effects operative between the aryl and methanesulfonyl groups.

Analysis of the experimental infinite-dilution molar Kerr constants of five p-substituted benzaldehydes (X-C6H4-CHO; X = NO2, CN, F, Cl, Br) as solutes in carbon tetrachloride at 298 K confirms that uniplanar molecular conformations are preferred.

Experimental dipole moments and molar Kerr constants are reported for eight 4- and 4,4?-halogeno- and -methyl-benzophenones as solutes in carbon tetrachloride at 298 K. Analysis of the results elucidates the conformational preferences of these molecules and suggests that steric effects are of predominant importance, whereas the additional conjugative interactions provided by the substituents apparently play only a minor role.
