Direction of dipole moment

For example, infra-red dichroism measurements will give a value for . If the direction of dipole moment change for the vibration under consideration makes an angle S, with the chain axis, the average for the chain distribution in 0 relates to by the simple relationship...

This chapter assesses the performance of quantum chemical models with regard to the calculation of the magnitudes of dipole moments. (Too little experimental information is available about the sign and/ or direction of dipole moments or about higher moments to make comparisons of these quantities with the results of calculations of value.) Coverage is divided according to type of molecule diatomics and small polyatomics, hydrocarbons, molecules with heteroatoms and hypervalent molecules. Models examined include Hartree-Fock...

A most widely used method for the prediction of molecular dipole moments is the empirical vector addition of bond moments (45). It involves the concept of point dipoles situated in the directions of the individual bonds artd assumes that the magnitudes of the dipoles are transferable from one molecule to another. For allenes a somewhat modified approach has been established which is of relevance in connection with the discussion of influences of electrostatic field effects on spectroscopic properties of allenes (24 25) (Section III.D). This model uses fixed origines and Hxed orientations for all the different (point dipole) bond moments in substituted allenes. As the origins of the point dipoles the positions of the hydrogen atoms in allene (11) have been used (24). The directions of the dipole moments are assumed to make an angle of 40 with the C==C=C axis (Fig. 6) which represents an average value of experimental directions of dipole moments in differently substituted allenes (24). 

Molecular motions in polymers, particularly those types that involve some reorganization of functional groups such as branches, should be amenable to study by vibrational spectroscopy. The spatial movement of functional groups involves a change in the directions of dipole moment and polarizability changes during molecular vibrations. Hence, the measurement of linear dichroism using...

Table III contains results from metal carbonyl complexes, some efficient examples being depicted in Fig. 5. In many cases, the most important contribution to the nonlinearity derives from other ligands (N-donor ligands, carbocycles, and car-benes). Many pyridine and arene complexes have EFISH-derived negative p values, consistent with these complexes undergoing a decrease in dipole moment or change in direction of dipole moment between the ground and excited states.
