Dipole moment, Kerr constant, Cotton-Mouton constant and conformation of 1,4-dithiin

Abstract

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 25ºC are reported and analysed to provide information concerning the solution-state conformation, the polarizability anisotropy and the magnetic anisotropy of this molecule.
