With the object of investigating the conformation with reference to the C/sub sp/sup 3//-C/sub sp/sup 3// and C/sub aryl/-C/sub sp/sup 3// bonds, this work considered, with the aid of the complex application of the methods of dipole moments (DMs), the Kerr effect, and atom-atom potential functions, the stereochemistry of the title compounds. In the investigated 1,2-diaryl-substituted ethanes, the content of the trans and gauche conformers relative to the C-C bond is practically identical; the transform shows some predominance. In these compounds, the aromatic rings are orientated in parallel and are turned by an average of 120 +/- 10/sup 0/ relative to the central C-C bond.
