Molecular susceptibility. The diamagnetic anisotropies of sixteen aromatic molecules at infinite dilution in carbon tetrachloride

Abstract

A photometric method for the determination of Cotton-Mouton constants of liquids and solutions is introduced. It advantageously replaces the visual technique used previously. Anisotropies of diamagnetic susceptibility are recorded for 16 aromatic molecules, and preliminary estimates drawn therefrom of the apparent longitudinal and transverse susceptibilities of C_ar-X bonds, where X = halogen, methyl, etc.
