Abstract
Improved equipment for measuring magnetic and electric birefringence in liquids and solutions is described. Molar Cotton–Mouton constants and molar Kerr constants at 298 K and 632.8 nm are reported for four model species (benzene, carbon disulphide, chloroform and pyridine) dissolved in each of three non-dipolar solvents (carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane and dioxan). A careful analysis of the data yields the magnetic anisotropies of the solutes and illustrates the advantages and limitations of dilute–solution birefringence measurements as a route to this quantity.Keywords
