 | | The effect, known since 1875, occurs when a voltage is applied to a dielectric causing it to become doubly refracting, i.e. |
 | | The observation in some instances of non-linear relationships between solute concentration and the Kerr effect or the dielectric polarisation led to investigations that showed solute-solute intermolecular associations of particular geometry to occur in solutions of benzyl alcohol, aniline and substituted anilines, normal alcohols, triisopropanolamine borate, tetrabutoxytitanium, carboxylic acids, and mercury(II) chloride. |
 | | H NMR, dipole moment and dielectric absorption data, to specify some stereochemical aspects of the interactions of polar molecules in these solvents. |
