โœฆ Synopsis


Polar diatomic molecules such as the hydrogen halides (HX) cannot be readily oriented by conventional electrostatic field techniques. However, by forming the 1: 1 hydrogen-bonded complex with benzene (a floppy CBv symmetric top) the HX becomes orientable via the electric hexapole focusing method. Oriented-molecule beams of C6H6-HCl and C6H,-HBr have been prepared and studied. From the threshold focusing voltage their electric dipole moments have been estimated: 1.6 & 0.1 and 1.2-t 0.1 D for C6H6-HCl and -HBr, respectively. These results confirm the substantial dipole moment enhancement of HX upon hydrogen bonding, measured accurately for the C6H6-HF complex by Klemperer and co-workers (1983).
