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.

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.

Measurements of the infinite-dilution molar Cotton-Mouton and Kerr constants of 12 non-dipolar 1,3,5-tri- and hexa-substituted benzenes as solutes in carbon tetrachloride at 298 K are reported. Some of the experimental results are in notable disagreement with earlier determinations made on equipment of much lower sensitivity. Although the magnetic anisotropies derived for the tri-substituted benzenes are concordant with other observed or predicted values, those for the hexa-substituted benzenes are generally very much larger than expected. It is suggested, in explanation, that relatively large and strongly anisotropic atomic polarizabilities may cause the ratio of the static to the high-frequency polarizability anisotropy to be considerably smaller in the hexa-substituted benzenes than in benzene; in addition, there may be significant temperature independent contributions to the magnetic birefringences of these molecules.

Experimental dipole moments and infinite-dilution molar Kerr constants are reported for six p-substituted acetophenones (CH3COC6H4X; X = Me, But, NO2, CN, F, Br) as solutes in carbon tetrachloride at 298 K. Analysis of these results and reconsideration of previously reported data for acetophenone and p-chloroacetophenone yields the dihedral angle, Φ, between the planes of the carbonyl and aryl groups in the effective conformation of each molecule (X = H, Φ = 0°; Me, 0°; But, 10�10°; NO2, 20�15°; NO2, 20�20°; F, 27�5°; Cl, 32�5°; Br, 30�10°).

Molar Kerr constants at infinite dilution in benzene at 25� are reported for eight compounds in which azo or azoxy groups form part of a conjugated system. Interpretation of the new data is attempted in terms of anisotropic bond polarizabilities, molecular conformations, etc. Problems arising from the colours and/or structures of these solutes are discussed.

Infinite-dilution dipole moments (1030p/Cm) and molar Kerr constants (1027mK/m5 V-2 mol-1) for 1-pivaloylnaphthalene (8.83,-490) and 2-pivaloylnaphthalene (9.24, 218) as solutes in carbon tetrachloride at 25�C are reported and analysed to yield the dihedral angles between the Car-CO-C and naphthyl planes as 90 � 10� and 53 � 8�, respectively.

Values for the properties and compounds named in the title are recorded at infinite dilution in carbon tetrachloride at 25 �C. Dipole moments of the seven diesters lie between 2 2 and 2.8 D ; the molar Kerr constants of the two azodiformates however differ from those of the maleates, fumarates, and oxalate in being negative. Results with ethyl oxalate are consistent with a structure in which the two ?CO2Et groups are in planes making an azimuthal angle c. 90�. Indications of configurations for the other esters are discussed, but conclusions are indefinite.

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 carbonyl stretching mode of 4- x-benzaldehydes increases in frequency as the mole % CHCl3/CCl4 decreases and as the value of σP− or σRO for the 4- x atom or group increases. Other functional groups such as OH, NO2 and CN are also affected by interaction with the CHCl3 and/or CCl4 solvent system. Other solvents may interact differently with each functional group so that, say, vC=O vs. σP−, σRO, or solvent acceptor numbers (AN) may not correlate in a uniform manner in all solute/solvent systems.
