Polarization and Dipole Moments

The three components of the dipole moment vector can be expressed as a series expansion about the equilibrium geometry 

In this case, the first derivative is responsible for determining the observation of vibration fundamentals. There are three components for every vibration then, every one of the possible molecular vibration frequencies has up to three possibilities to be observed in the IR spectrum. Consequently,

On the other hand, the polarizability is a tensor, a response function that characterizes the volume and shape of the molecular electronic cloud [11]  

The matrix representing a is symmetric, and the tensor has only six components, and each component can be expanded in series as follows

For weak electric fields the magnitude of the induced polarization is linearly proportional with the amplitude of the electric field. Yet, when the field strength increases, the linear relationship no longer holds, and nonlinear terms have to be taken into account. In this case, the induced dipole moment and polarization can be expressed up to second order in the electric field as11...

Following Ref. 18, the unit cell volume is chosen to be 722.4 A whereas, similarly to Ref. 15, no 1/2 factor is used to account for the possible difference of convention between the expressions of the field-dq>endent dipole moment and polarization. The macroscopic quantities are given in the 2 colrimn of Table XXII. In the MKS system [65], die refractive indices are expressed fr om the first-order susc tibilities as ... 

Potential energies are re-calculated at each step, and the frequency of the vibration can be found by fitting a quadratic equation to the results. If the dipole moment and polarization are also calculated at each step, then the derivatives of these properties may also be found numerically (e.g., Pulay et al. 1983). However, this is a time-consuming procedure and can lead to reduced accuracy (Yamaguchi et al. 1986). Consequently, using analytical derivatives of these properties is the preferred method for predicting intensities. 

Here YN the natural width, Yc is the relaxation rate for the rank-excited multipole (K = 0 population, K = 2 alignment), and 3 contains dipole moment and polarization properties. 

The dielectric constant is a property of a bulk material, not an individual molecule. It arises from the polarity of molecules (static dipole moment), and the polarizability and orientation of molecules in the bulk medium. Often, it is the relative permitivity 8, that is computed rather than the dielectric constant k, which is the constant of proportionality between the vacuum permitivity so and the relative permitivity. 

Table 1 3 lists the dipole moments of various bond types For H—F H—Cl H—Br and H—I these bond dipoles are really molecular dipole moments A polar molecule has a dipole moment a nonpolar one does not Thus all of the hydrogen halides are polar molecules To be polar a molecule must have polar bonds but can t have a shape that causes all the individual bond dipoles to cancel We will have more to say about this m Section 1 11 after we have developed a feeling for the three dimensional shapes of molecules... 

Knowing the shape of a molecule and the polarity of its various bonds allows the presence or absence of a molecular dipole moment and its direction to be predicted... 

Furthermore, in a series of polyoxyethylene nonylphenol nonionic surfactants, the value of varied linearly with the HLB number of the surfactant. The value of K2 varied linearly with the log of the interfacial tension measured at the surfactant concentration that gives 90% soil removal. Carrying the correlations still further, it was found that from the detergency equation of a single surfactant with three different polar sods, was a function of the sod s dipole moment and a function of the sod s surface tension (81). 

Experimental values are collected in the McClellan book (B-63MI40400) and in a review on dipole moments and structure of azoles (71KGS867). Some selected values are reported in Table 3. The old controversy about the dipole moment of pyrazole in solution has been settled by studying its permittivity over a large range of concentrations (75BSF1675). These measurements show that pyrazole forms non-polar cyclic dimers (39) when concentration increases and, in consequence, the permittivity value decreases. 

For both polar and nonpolar nonhydrocaihon gaseous mixtui es at low pressui es, the most accurate viscosity prediction method is the method of Brokaw. The method is quite accurate but requires the dipole moment and the Stockmayer energy parameter (e/A ) for polar components as well as pure component viscosities, molecular weights, the normal boding point, and the hq-uid molar volume at the normal boding point. The Technical Data Manual should be consulted for the fidl method. 

If a surface is polar, its resulting electric field will induce a dipole moment in a molecule with no permanent dipole and, through this polarization, increase the extent of adsorption. Similarly, a molecule with a permanent dipole moment will polarize an otherwise nonpolar surface, thereby increasing the attraction. 

Examine electrostatic potential maps for potassium hydride and hydrogen chloride. How are they similar and how are they different (Focus on whether the molecules are polar or nonpolar (compare dipole moments), and on the electronic character of hydrogen.) Draw the ionic Lewis structure that is most consistent with each electrostatic potential map. Does each atom have a filled valence shell ... 

Compare the dipole moment and the electrostatic potential map for the ground state of acetone to those of the n to pistar state of acetone. Which molecule is more polar Rationalize the differences by appealing to the shape of the orbitals (in ground-state acetone) whose electron populations are changed by excitation. 

This is not an SCRF model, as the dipole moment and stabilization are not calculated in a self-consistent way. When the back-polarization of the medium is taken into account, the dipole moment changes, depending on how polarizable the molecule is. Taking only the first-order effect into account, the stabilization becomes (a is the molecular polarizability, the first-order change in the dipole moment with respect to an electric field, Section 10.1.1). 

Nonpolar molecules such as H, N, O, I, and Cl have zero dipole moments, because e = 0. On the other hand, hydrogen fluoride, HF, has a large dipole moment of 1.75 Debye and so is strongly polar. Simple carbon compounds with symmetric arrangement of like atoms (e.g., methane, CH, and carbon tetrachloride,CCl.,) have zero dipole moments and so are nonpolar. 

Net molecular polarity is measured by a quantity called the dipole moment and can bethought of in the following way assume that there is a center of mass of all positive charges (nuclei) in a molecule and a center of mass of all negative charges (electrons). If these two centers don t coincide, then the molecule has a net polarity.

In Section 2.12, we saw that a polar covalent bond in which electrons are not evenly distributed has a nonzero dipole moment. A polar molecule is a molecule with a nonzero dipole moment. All diatomic molecules are polar if their bonds are polar. An HC1 molecule, with its polar covalent bond (8+H—Clfi ), is a polar molecule. Its dipole moment of 1.1 D is typical of polar diatomic molecules (Table 3.1). All diatomic molecules that are composed of atoms of different elements are at least slightly polar. A nonpolar molecule is a molecule that has no electric dipole moment. All homonuclear diatomic molecules, diatomic molecules containing atoms of only one element, such as 02, N2, and Cl2, are nonpolar, because their bonds are nonpolar.
