%X 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.
