We determined molar Kerr constants and dipole moments in dioxane solutions for a number of diaryl sulfones with various substituents in the aromatic nuclei.The data obtained were analyzed to establish the preferential molecular conformations.It was shown that diaryl sulfones occur in solution mainly in the form of orthogonal or planar-orthogonal conformers, or as an equilibrium between these two.In the orthogonal conformer both aromatic rings are perpendicular to the plane of the CArSCAr bonds, whereas in the planar-orthogonal conformer one ring is coplanar and the other orthogonal to this plane.The orthogonal orientation of aromatic rings relative to the CArSCAr plane originates from the ?-conjugation of the nuclei and the sulfonyl gruop of the sulfone molecules.
