Dipole moments (μ) and relaxation times (τ) of seven azo central group liquid crystal compounds have been determined using the dilute solution method at radio and microwave frequencies. The results agree fairly well with the estimated values of the dipole moments. The angle, β, between the direction of the dipole moment and the long axis of the molecule, is determined for each molecule from structural considerations. The predicted sign of the dielectric anisotropy (Δε) from the estimated value of p is confirmed experimentally.

Dielectric constant and loss data have been obtained at microwave frequencies for acridine, 4-methyl-pyridine, phthalazine, quinoline, and isoquinoline in both cyclohexane and p-xylene solution. The data have been used to calculate relaxation times and apparent dipole moments. For phthalazine, quinoline, and isoquinoline in cyclohexane at 50 °C the distribution coefficient is zero and their relaxation times are very similar. Although the axes about which these three molecules may relax lead to different volumes being swept out, no variation in relaxation behavior has been detected, and each system can be characterized by one relaxation time. The relaxation times for all the heterocyclic molecules except quinoline and acridine in p-xylene are appreciably longer than in cyclohexane. Relaxation time values appear a sensitive means of detecting the weak molecular interaction between the amine and the p-xylene. The difference in behavior between the quinoline and acridine as opposed to isoquinoline could be attributed to a more appreciable steric effect in the former two, hindering the approach of the π-electrons of the p-xylene molecules to the hybridized lone pair on the nitrogen atom. No interaction is, in fact, detectable in the case of quinoline and acridine. The importance of allowing for weak intermolecular forces, even in dilute solution, when relaxation values are being anticipated, is emphasized.

The ground state dipole moment of the π-electrons of 2.4.6-triphenyl-N- [3.5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-phenyl] -pyridinium-betain I, a highly solvatochromic substance, was determined by measuring the dielectric constant of a dilute solution and calculating first the dipole moment of the whole system (σ- and π-electrons) using the method of HALVERSTADT and KUMLER. The dipole moment of the π-electrons was then calculated, asuming the π-electron dipole to be imbedded in a spherical medium of dielectric constant 2. The value calculated by this method was compared with the π-electron dipole moment directly obtained from the dielectric constant of the dilute solution using a method of H. KUHN. This method is based on the assumption that a π-electron of a dissolved molecule sees the σ-electrons of the molecule and of the surrounding solvent, a saturated hydrocarbon, as a continuous uniform medium of dielectric constant 2. Thus the π-electron dipole of the solute molecule is regarded as being imbedded in a continuous medium of dielectric constant 2. It was found that the values of the π-electron dipole moments determined by the two methods agree well. Furthermore these experimental values agree with a theoretical value obtained in the case of N- [4-hydroxy-phenyl] -pyridinium-betain II using the one dimensional electron gas method including electron repulsion. The order of magnitude of the π-electron dipole moment of I clearly shows that the ground state of this molecule is highly polar.

The dielectric absorption at four microwave frequencies of pure liquid benzene and p-cymene at 25 °C, p-xylene and mesitylene at 25, 40, 50, and 60 °C, and solutions of durene and hexamethylbenzene in mesitylene at 60 °C has been examined. All show measurable loss factors and apparent dipole moments of about 0.1 to 0.2 D. These moments are less in magnitude than those associated with the short relaxation time (τ2) process for the polar monoalkylbenzenes. o-xylene and m-xylene. Their relaxation times are too short for molecular reorientation and there is a rough correlation between the number of collisions/molecule s and the reciprocal relaxation time.

The dielectric relaxation times and the dipole moments of methyl, ethyl, and amyl acetates are measured in six nonpolar solvents having different viscosities. The dielectric relaxation time is found to increase with the chain length in each nonpolar solvent. The relaxation times in aromatic solvents (benzene and p-xylene) are found to be higher than in carbon tetrachloride, even though the viscosity of the latter is more than that of the aromatic solvents This shows that the dielectric relaxation is not only due to the viscous resistance of the solvent but is also influenced by strong interactions between aromatic solvents and solute molecules.

A microwave technique for measuring the complex dielectric permittivity of liquids by using a cylindrical cavity oscillating in the TM010 mode is described. The liquid is placed in a cylindrical teflon cell and the dielectric constant and loss of the liquid are evaluated by measuring accurately the changes in the resonant frequency and Q of the cavity for the composite sample and for the teflon alone. This technique has been used to measure the dielectric constant and loss at 2.4 GHz of some pure liquids and solutions in benzene of ortho and meta isomers of difluoro-, dichloro-, dibromo-, and diiodo-benzene. The measured values for the pure liquids are in good agreement with the literature values. The dielectric relaxation times and dipole moments of the dihalobenzenes in benzene solution evaluated by assuming a simple Debye type dispersion show good agreement with the earlier calculated values derived from Cole–Cole plots based on measurements at several microwave frequencies. This technique, by virtue of the use of a teflon cell and of gold plated end caps, allows the determination of the dielectric properties of corrosive liquids at microwave frequencies and another advantage is that very small liquid samples are required.

Abstract The dielectric loss of eight molecules with the polar group in aromatic bonds and three in aliphatic bonds has been measured in very dilute solutions of cyclohexane at 20 °C. The measurements have been made at microwave frequencies in the range 2 to 130 GHz and at five wave numbers in the range 8 to 85 cm-1 (generated by a pumped molecular laser). These measurements are supplemented using a Fourier transform spectrometre up to 300 cm-1. The dielectric loss spectra ε″(γ̄) have been separated into a number of absorption regions (three or four in the microwave area) using the two variable Mori formalism. The power absorption spectra α(γ̄) are fitted to the Lorentzian shapes in order to determine the FIR resonances.The dielectric dispersion step determined from loss measurements contains the contributions from all orientational processes of the permanent molecular dipole moment. The distribution of relaxation times indicates that the polar group reorientates by a fast intramolecular rotational process in five of the eight aromatic molecules investigated. Furthermore these five substances show character­istic broad resonance centred at approximately 39 cm-1. In order to determine the influence of the other substituted groups, the components of the dipole moment parallel and perpendicular to the internal axis of rotation are calculated from the dispersion steps. The perpendicular component does contribute as well to the Debye relaxation according to the Budo model as to the Poley and FIR absorptions. The relative magnitudes of these contributions are rather similar in the five molecules. In two other molecules, the intramolecular orientational process plays a relatively minor role due to the steric hindrance by a neighbouring group. However in dichloro-o-xylene, the two neighbour­ing groups do not prevent the fast process except that the net dipole moment is significantly reduced. Again, due to sterichindrance, the aliphatic bonded group molecules do not exhibit the fast dipolar orientational process or the characteristic resonance at 39 cm-1.

This article reports on the Dielectric Relaxation Studies of two Liquid Crystalline compounds - 7O.4 and 7O.6 - doped with dodecanethiol capped Silver Nanoparticles. The liquid crystal molecules are aligned homeotropically using CTAB. The low frequency relaxation process occurring above 1 MHz is fitted to Cole-Cole formula using the software Dielectric Spectra fit. The effect of the Silver Nanoparticles on the molecular dipole dynamics are discussed in terms of the fitted relaxation times, Cole-Cole distribution parameter and activation energy. The study indicate a local molecular rearrangement of the liquid crystal molecules without affecting the order of the bulk liquid crystal molecules but these local molecules surrounding the Silver Nanoparticles do not contribute to the relaxation process in the studied frequency range. The observed effect on activation energy suggests a change in interaction between the nanoparticles/liquid crystal molecules.

The adiabatic three-dimensional potential energy surface and the corresponding dipole moment surface describing the ground electronic state of HN2+ (Χ1Σ+) are calculated at different levels of ab initio theory. The calculations cover the entire bound part of the potential up to its lowest dissociation channel including the isomerization barrier. Energies of all bound vibrational and low-lying ro-vibrational levels are determined in a fully variational procedure using the Suttcliffe-Tennyson Hamiltonian for triatomic molecules. They are in close agreement with the available experimental numbers. From the dipole moment function effective dipoles and transition moments are obtained for all the calculated vibrational and ro-vibrational states. Statistical tools such as the density of states or the nearest-neighbor level spacing distribution (NNSD) are applied to describe and analyse general patterns and characteristics of the energy and dipole results calculated for the massively large number of states of the strongly bound HN2+ ion and its deuterated isotopomer.
