The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of s ‐trioxane partially oriented in three nematic solvents were analysed, and the measured dipolar coupling constants, corrected for harmonic vibrations and for correlated deformation, were used to obtain information about the r α structure of the molecule. It is concluded that the s ‐trioxane molecule oscillates between two equivalent chair conformers and the methylene protons are tilted outwards from the threefold symmetry axis. The optimized values for the geometric parameters are 1.111 (2) Å for the CH bond length, 110.3 (3)° for the HCH bond angle and −2.1 (3)° for the methylene rocking coordinate.
