Island counting is well suited for normalization or for matrix elements of spin-independent properties such as dipole moments, transition dipoles or charge-charge... 

In practice values of B are also often quoted in cm-1. For the simple rigid rotor the rotational quantum number J takes integral values, J = 0, 1, 2, etc. The rotational energy levels therefore have energies 0, 2B, 6B, 12B, etc. Elsewhere in this book we will describe the theory of electric dipole transition probabilities and will show that for a diatomic molecule possessing a permanent electric dipole moment, transitions between the rotational levels obey the simple selection rule A J = 1. The rotational spectrum of the simple rigid rotor therefore consists of a series of equidistant absorption lines with frequencies 2B, 4B, 6B, etc. 

Second, due to the nonzero matrix elements of the operator of the dipole moment, transitions between the rotational sublevels of the same vibronic level with the change of the projection K by unity (AA = 1) are possible. In the work of Child and Longuet-Higgins (1961) it is noted that the possible vibronic pure rotational absorption spectrum within the same vibronic level is somewhat similar to the pure rotational spectrum in the excited degenerate dipolar-type state of harmonic oscillators predicted by Mizushima and Venkatesvarlu (1953). 

To apply these equations, we need the wavefuncdons m> in order to get the dipole moment transition elements and the frequencies spectral series, where only the ground state need be near-exact. This is done by diagonalizing the Hamiltonian matrix formed from a large number of basis functions (which implicitly include the interelectronic coordinate and thus electron correlation). We do this for each symmetry state that is involved. All the ensuing eigenvalues and eigenvectors are then used in the sum-over-states expressions. For helium we require S, P, and D states and for H2 (or D2) E, II, and A states. 

Four different models of molecular motion were in agreement with the jump angle determined by NMR. However, of these possible motions only one was in agreement with the dielectric relaxation results of Miyamoto et al. [69], This motion is defined by a dipole-moment transition and a conformational change (tg" tg <->g tg" t) yielding an effective dipole-moment reversal only along the chain axis and a reorientation angle of 113° for the C—bond directions. 

The SFG technique probes the second-order nonhnear hyperpolarizability tensor this tensor includes the Raman and IR susceptibihty, which requires that the molecular vibrational modes are both Raman and IR active. Since Raman- and IR-dipole moment transition selection rules for molecules with a center of symmetry indicate that a vibrational mode is either Raman or IR active but not both, only molecules in a non-centrosymmetric environment on the surface interact with the electric fields molecules in the isotropic bulk phase show inversion symmetry where the third rank hyperpolarizability tensor goes to zero [25-27]. 

In addition to permanent and induced molecular dipole moments, transition moments caused by charge cloud distortion during collisions have been discussed for gas phase systems (Kiss, Gush, and Welsh, 1959 van Kranendonk, 1958). It was found that this distortion moment contribution is small and decreases rapidly with temperature. In the case of gas phase Nj, the observed absorption intensity (Colpa and Ketelaar, 1958 Ketelaar and Rettschnick, 1964) could be wholly accounted for on the basis of the molecular quadrupole-induced mechanism. We do not consider the distortion moment further here. 

VAMP S Cl package allows the calculation of excited state dipole moments, transition moments, and oscillator strengths from singlet ground states. Sum-over-states calculations of hyperpolarizabilities and calculation of solvent effects on excited states are also available (see below).
