The relaxation time of this motion and its temperature dependence are determined and compared to n.m.r. observations. The theoretical model also predicts a distinct dependence of the scattering on the momentum transfer. With the help of this dependence the motion can be identified in detail.","PeriodicalId":11262,"journal":{"name":"Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"10 1","pages":"156-161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1969-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74754782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The question of molecular distortion in external mode vibration is raised, and the results for a model calculation on perdeutero-naphthalene are given. These suggest that the distortion effect should not be ignored in model fitting procedures, as some modes are found to be shifted by as much as 8 cm–1. The calculations also yield large shifts in the internal mode frequencies and show the dispersion relation for these modes.","PeriodicalId":11262,"journal":{"name":"Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"7 1","pages":"125-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1969-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82557632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The atomic displacements were subsequently interpreted as due to the superposition of the internal stretching vibrations and of the rigid-body translational and angular vibrations of the molecules. The analysis of the results revealed substantial rigid-body vibrational components in the zero-point motion of the molecules and a rapid rise in the amplitude of the in-plane angular vibrations on approaching the transition point. It also showed a small but possibly significant lengthening of the CI—D bond as the temperature decreases. Finally, it gave a fuller understanding of the disordered cubic phase as a dynamic mixture of short-lived polymers of varying lengths and shapes.","PeriodicalId":11262,"journal":{"name":"Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"78-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1969-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75798667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
