It is shown that the bond length of an SO bond and the bond angle of an SO2 group may be very satisfactorily correlated with the SO stretching frequency. The bond-length – stretching-frequency relationship is used to predict some bond lengths that have not been measured and the OSO angles in some sulphuryl compounds are also calculated. The problem of defining and measuring the bond order of sulphur–oxygen bonds is discussed. It is shown that there is a linear relationship between the force constant and the bond order and a non-linear relationship between the bond length and the bond order.

A computational method was devised to explore the relationship of charge separation, geometry, molecular dipole moment (mu), polarizability (alpha), and hyperpolariz-abilities (beta, gamma) in conjugated organic molecules. We show that bond-length alternation (the average difference in length between single and double bonds in the molecule) is a key structurally observable parameter that can be correlated with hyperpolarizabilities and is thus relevant to the optimization of molecules and materials. By using this method, the relationship of bond-length alternation, mu, alpha, beta, and gamma for linear conjugated molecules is illustrated, and those molecules with maximized alpha, beta, and gamma are described.

The Π-electron networks in boron–nitrogen chains and rings have been treated by l.c.a.o.–m.o. techniques. The results for B—N chains predict a very weak alternation of bond order, smaller charges on the terminal atoms than on the internal atoms, and very little conjugation across B—B and N—N linkages. The calculations for the B—N rings predict an absence of a "4n + 2" pi-electron rule for aromaticity and a predominance of exocyclic over endocyclic Π bonding in the substituted rings. These results are compared with the properties of known B—N chains and rings and are contrasted with l.c.a.o.–m.o. calculations for the analogous carbon–carbon systems.

The microwave spectrum of the benzene isomer 3,4-dimethylenecyclobutene including spectra of all possible single 13C-substituted and sufficient singly and doubly D-substituted species to give a complete r5 geometry, have been measured and analysed. An estimate of the re geometry has also been derived. The additional precise CC bond lengths obtained for an unsubstituted, conjugated hydrocarbon enable us to examine bond order-bond length relationships more thoroughly than has previously been possible. The CC bond lengths exhibit a noticeably better correlation with SCFMO bond orders than with simple H�ckel bond orders. Further confirmatory measurements of the dipole moment of dimethylenecyclobutene have been made. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations using a 6-31G basis set give an optimized geometry with CC bond lengths within 2 pm of the r5 values. The computed dipole moment agrees almost exactly with experiment but a corresponding calculation on fulvene is discrepant with experiment by 0.16 D, which is probably a more typical error.
