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.

Dipole moments and molar Kerr constants are reported for methyl, ethyl, and phenyl chloroformates in carbon tetrachloride and in benzene. The experimental data are analysed to provide information on the conformational preferences of the solutes in the ?inert? CCl4 environment and on solute-solvent associations in benzene.

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.

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.

The p.m.r. spectra of dilute solutions of 1,2,3-tribromopropane in carbon tetrachloride, acetonitrile, and dimethylsulfoxide as well as of the neat compound are examined. From the three- and four-bond spin–spin coupling constants and from a comparison between observed and calculated dipole moments it is concluded that in nonpolar solvents the title compound exists preferably in the enantiomeric conformations a and i. In polar solvents other rotamers contribute to the equilibrium but still seem to play only a minor role. Semiempirical calculations of conformational energies rule out contributions to the conformational equilibrium from rotamers having (1:3) bromine–bromine interactions, but otherwise are only in moderate agreement with experiment.

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.

Experimental dipole moments and molar Kerr constants at 25�C are reported for di(4-pyridyl) disulphide (1.68 D, + 11 x 10-12 e.s.u. mol-1) and di(2-pyridyl) disulphide (3.95 D, -240x10-12 e.s.u. mol-1) as solutes in carbon tetrachloride. Analysis of results yields information concerning the preferred conformations of these molecules.

The apparent dipole moments of ten, and the apparent molar Kerr constants of seven, alkyl nitrites as solutes in carbon tetrachloride at 25� are recorded and discussed in terms of assumptions that the dissolved species are either (a) mixtures of two planar forms in which the R-O and K=O bonds have an s-cis : s-trans relationship, or (b) mixtures of many non-planar rotamers, definable by angles of twist 4 between the planes containing the R-O and S=O units. On basis (b) the observed properties are average values, theoretically predictable only when potential energies as functions of � become known. "Effective" conformations for MeO-N=O and Me3CO-N=O having � values of 98� and 146.5� can be inferred from the ∞(mK2) values found for these esters.

Dipole moments and molar Kerr constants, previously recorded by Le F�vre, Le F�vre, and Oh (1957) with only a qualitative discussion pending availability of information on the anisotropic polarizabilities of the C=C and N=N bonds, are here used to indicate the apparent conformations of diethyl maleate, diethyl fumarate, and diethyl azodiformate as solutes in carbon tetrachloride.
