N2  - Dipole moments and molar Kerr constants are reported for five organic   disulphides R2S2 (where R is methyl, t-butyl, phenyl, p-chlorophenyl, and &#946;-naphthyl)in carbon tetrachloride solution. The experimental data are analysed to show (a) that each molecule has a skew structure with dihedral angles in the range 88-85º between the planes C?-S-S and S-S-C&quot;; (b) that the anisotropic electron polarizabilities of the S-S group in dimethyl disulphide are bL = 4.66 Å3, bT = bv = 2.25 Å3; and (c) that in the aromatic disulphides the aryl group planes are nearly coplanar with their respective Car-S-S groups.
