The reorientational relaxation of CS2 in solution in CCl4 and its dependence on both concentration and temperature is investigated with the use of the optical Kerr effect (OKE). The comparison of the single-particle reorientational relaxation time extracted from OKE data and obtained by Raman spectroscopy supports the hypothesis that the vibrational and reorientational relaxation processes for CS2 are not correlated. It is shown that the reorientational dynamics of CS2 is influenced by the solvent configuration around the solute molecule (cage effect), and that it is also influenced by the pair orientational correlation between solute molecules, even in dilute solutions.
