Abstract - The electro -optical constants of 2-Methyl-4-nitroaniline crystals are measured at a wavelength of 632.8nm. The results confirm the measurements made by Lipscomb, Garito, and R.S. Narang [J. Chem. Phys. 75, 1509 (1981) ] for the first time and settle the discrepancy between Tokura, Kurita, and Koda experiment [Phys. Rev. B31,2588 (1985)] and Lipscomb, Garito, and R. S. Narang.
