Spectroscopy electronegativity

Because of point 2, rotational microwave and millimetre wave spectroscopy are powerllil techniques for determining dipole moments. However, the direction of the dipole moment cannot be determined. In the case of 0=C=S, for which /r = 0.715 21 0.000 20 D [(2.3857 0.0007) x 10 ° C m], a simple electronegativity argument leads to the correct conclusion - that the oxygen end of the molecule is the negative end of the dipole. However, in CO, the value of 0.112 D (3.74 x 10 C m) is so small that only accurate electronic stmcture calculations can be relied upon to conclude correctly that the carbon end is the negative one.

Those of the readers who are already quite familiar with proton NMR spectroscopy are aware that, as the most electronegative element, fluorine substituents deshield proximate hydrogens more than any other atomic substituent because of their unique inductive influence. This fact is exemplified below in Scheme 2.11. 

The unusually facile formation of a disulfonium dication from sulfide 10 is the result of stereochemical features of the eight-membered ring, which favor the formation of a transannular bond.31 According to X-ray data (see in Chapter 7.1 Table 1), the distance between the two sulfur atoms in 1,5-dithiacyclooctane 10 is smaller than the sum of their van der Waals radii (3.75 A), which results in a strong non-bonded interaction between the atoms confirmed by photoelectron spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.32 33 This interaction and the sulfur-sulfur distance can be decreased as a result of bond formation with an electronegative substituent as in sulfoxide 13 or sulfoximine 14.34,35...
