The diamagnetic susceptibility of perylene in powdered form has been measured and found to be −(171±1)×10−6 per mole, and from this value the structure of perylene is discussed. A simple method has also been proposed to evaluate the anisotropic part from the mean molecular susceptibilities of aromatic molecules. The present result shows that perylene molecule has two predominant naphthalene nuclei and the central hexagon in this molecule has a spacial structure as compared with the other four.
