It turns out that there is another branch of mathematics, closely related to tire calculus of variations, although historically the two fields grew up somewhat separately, known as optimal control theory (OCT). Although the boundary between these two fields is somewhat blurred, in practice one may view optimal control theory as the application of the calculus of variations to problems with differential equation constraints. OCT is used in chemical, electrical, and aeronautical engineering where the differential equation constraints may be chemical kinetic equations, electrical circuit equations, the Navier-Stokes equations for air flow, or Newton s equations. In our case, the differential equation constraint is the TDSE in the presence of the control, which is the electric field interacting with the dipole (pemianent or transition dipole moment) of the molecule [53, 54, 55 and 56]. From the point of view of control theory, this application presents many new features relative to conventional applications perhaps most interesting mathematically is the admission of a complex state variable and a complex control conceptually, the application of control teclmiques to steer the microscopic equations of motion is both a novel and potentially very important new direction. 

There are other important properties tliat can be measured from microwave and radiofrequency spectra of complexes. In particular, tire dipole moments and nuclear quadmpole coupling constants of complexes may contain useful infonnation on tire stmcture or potential energy surface. This is most easily seen in tire case of tire dipole moment. The dipole moment of tire complex is a vector, which may have components along all tire principal inertial axes. 

Measurements of Stark splittings in microwave and radiofrequency spectra allow tliese components to be detennined. The main contribution to tire dipole moment of tire complex arises from tire pennanent dipole moment vectors of tire monomers, which project along tire axes of tire complex according to simple trigonometry (cosines). Thus, measurements of tire dipole moment convey infonnation about tire orientation of tire monomers in tire complex. It is of course necessary to take account of effects due to induced dipole moments and to consider whetlier tire effects of vibrational averaging are important. 

Figure 1.2. Endo and exo pathway for the Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with methyl vinyl ketone. As was first noticed by Berson, the polarity of the endo activated complex exceeds that of the exo counterpart due to alignment of the dipole moments of the diene and the dienophile K The symmetry-allowed secondary orbital interaction that is only possible in the endo activated complex is usually invoked as an explanation for the preference for endo adduct exhibited by most Diels-Alder reactions.

In 1961 Berson et al. were the first to study systematically the effect of the solvent on the endo-exo selectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction . They interpreted the solvent dependence of the endo-exo ratio by consideririg the different polarities of the individual activated complexes involved. The endo activated complex is of higher polarity than the exo activated complex, because in the former the dipole moments of diene and dienophile are aligned, whereas in the latter they are pointing in... 

The dipole moment varies according to the solvent it is ca 5.14 x 10 ° Cm (ca 1.55 D) when pure and ca 6.0 x 10 ° Cm (ca 1.8 D) in a nonpolar solvent, such as benzene or cyclohexane (14,15). In solvents to which it can hydrogen bond, the dipole moment may be much higher. The dipole is directed toward the ring from a positive nitrogen atom, whereas the saturated nonaromatic analogue pyrroHdine [123-75-1] has a dipole moment of 5.24 X 10 ° C-m (1.57 D) and is oppositely directed. Pyrrole and its alkyl derivatives are TT-electron rich and form colored charge-transfer complexes with acceptor molecules, eg, iodine and tetracyanoethylene (16). 

Not surprisingly, the dipole moments of 1 1-complexes of phosphines and aluminium chloride are very large. Triethylphosphine also forms a 2 1 complex whose very low dipole moment suggests a symmetrical structure such as (139). ... 

The measurement of change in the surface potentials of aqueous solutions of electrolytes caused hy adsorption of ionophore (e.g., crown ether) monolayers seems to he a convenient and promising method to ascertain selectivity and the effective dipole moments of the ionophore-ion complexes created at the water surface. 

Kds are the constants of rates of chemical reactions of oxygen adsorption and desorbtion from ZnO film and Aq are electron work function from ZnO before oxygen gets adsorbed and its variation caused by dipole moment of adsorbed complexes being formed U is the adsorption activation energy of non-electrostatic nature [ M] is the concentration of solvent molecules. Apparently we can write down the following expression for the stationary system ... 

A and D are the exciplex or excimer components, denotes the primarily excited species, k is the limiting photoassociation equilibrium constant, AHat ASa, and are the thermodynamic parameters for the exciplex-excimer, and p is the excited state dipole moment of the complex. Note that the large dipole moment for the exciplex indicates almost complete charge transfer in the excited state, (D+, A-). rfc and r, are the fluorescence lifetimes for the complex and the component. 

For the d9 configuration, with a 2II(a2 it3 S4) ground state, only one sandwich complex, Co(HMBz)2, is known (108). This was shown to have a moment of 1.86 0.08 B.M. at 83 and 295 K, and a permanent dipole moment of 1.78 D in benzene solution. Although there are no indications of a static distortion to be found from X-ray diffraction studies (7), this latter observation appears to afford clear cut evidence of an effective symmetry lower than Cxv, and the magnetic data were shown (101) to imply A 1100 cm-1 in order to reproduce the essentially temperature independent moment observed. However, two cautions should be observed in assessing this evidence. Firstly the predicted temperature... 

A. Weller and K. Zachariasse 157-160) thoroughly investigated this radical-ion reaction, starting from the observation that the fluorescence of aromatic hydrocarbons is quenched very efficiently by electron donors such as N,N diethylaniline which results in a new, red-shifted emission in nonpolar solvents This emission was ascribed to an excited charge-transfer complex 1(ArDD(H )), designated heteroexcimer, with a dipole moment of 10D. In polar solvents, however, quenching of aromatic hydrocarbon fluorescence by diethylaniline is not accompanied by hetero-excimer emission in this case the free radical anions Ar<7> and cations D were formed. 

In an effort to understand the mechanisms involved in formation of complex orientational structures of adsorbed molecules and to describe orientational, vibrational, and electronic excitations in systems of this kind, a new approach to solid surface theory has been developed which treats the properties of two-dimensional dipole systems.61,109,121 In adsorbed layers, dipole forces are the main contributors to lateral interactions both of dynamic dipole moments of vibrational or electronic molecular excitations and of static dipole moments (for polar molecules). In the previous chapter, we demonstrated that all the information on lateral interactions within a system is carried by the Fourier components of the dipole-dipole interaction tensors. In this chapter, we consider basic spectral parameters for two-dimensional lattice systems in which the unit cells contain several inequivalent molecules. As seen from Sec. 2.1, such structures are intrinsic in many systems of adsorbed molecules. For the Fourier components in question, the lattice-sublattice relations will be derived which enable, in particular, various parameters of orientational structures on a complex lattice to be expressed in terms of known characteristics of its Bravais sublattices. In the framework of such a treatment, the ground state of the system concerned as well as the infrared-active spectral frequencies of valence dipole vibrations will be elucidated. 

Relative contribution of each of these structures differs significantly and is determined by internal structural characteristics of the nitrones and by the influence of external factors, such as changes in polarity of solvent, formation of a hydrogen bond, and complexation and protonation. Changes in the electronic stmcture of nitrones, effected by any of these factors, which are manifested in the changes of physicochemical properties and spectral characteristics, can be explained, qualitatively, by analyzing the relative contribution of A-G structures. On the basis of a vector analysis of dipole moments of two series of nitrones (355), a quantum-chemical computation of ab initio molecular orbitals of the model nitrone CH2=N(H)0 and its tautomers, and methyl derivatives (356), it has been established that the bond in nitrones between C and N atoms is almost... 

Both species exhibit the expected linear geometry that maximizes the dominant n- - a interaction. However, these isomers are rather perplexing from a dipole-dipole viewpoint. The dipole moment of CO is known to be rather small (calculated Fco = 0.072 D), with relative polarity C- 0+. 40 While the linear equilibrium struc-ture(s) may appear to suggest a dipole-dipole complex, robust H-bonds are formed regardless of which end of the CO dipole moment points toward HF This isomeric indifference to dipole directionality shows clearly that classical dipole-dipole interactions have at most a secondary influence on the formation of a hydrogen bond.
