The infinite dilution molar Kerr constant of triphenyl-s-triazine as a solute in dioxan at 298 K is analysed to provide evidence concerning the molecular conformation. Structures having equivalent rotations of the phenyl groups about the inter-ring bonds are considered and its is found that the dihedral angle, ϕ, lies within the range 0 ⩽ϕ⩽ 27°. The conformational preferences of triphenyl-s-triazine and 1,3,5-triphenyl benzene are compared.
