anisotropy
of polar molecules is calculated to within the secondapproximation of statistical perturbation calculus taking into account
dispersional, dipole-dipole, dipole-quadrupole, quadrupole-quadrupole,
induceddipole-dipole
and induceddipole-quadrupole
interactions as well as molecular redistribution. Three-molecule radial interaction is considered, leading to a very large reduction in the effect of two-molecule radial interaction. The model of favour- ed two-molecule configuration is analyzed for rod- and
plate-like
polar molecules, and numerical calculations are performed for the liquids CH3CN and CHCl3, the molecules of which exhibit, respectively,positive
and negative intrinsic anisotropy ofpolarizability.
The calculations are com-pared with the available
experimental
data, and the percentage of molecules forming privilegedpairs
in the liquid is determined.

1. Introduction. - The recent intensive studies of matter
by optical
methods haveyielded
abundantinformation on the
optical properties
of media and their internal structure. Inparticular,
theanalysis
of linear
[1]
andespecially
nonlinearoptical pheno-
mena
[2]
inliquids
leads tohighly stimulating
conclu-sions as to the intermolecular interactions in this state of condensation.
They
intervene verymarkedly,
among
others,
inanisotropic light scattering
and theoptical
Kerr effect inliquids [3-6]
andliquid crystals [7].
The measurement of these two effectspermits
the determination of the effective
optical anisotropy
r 2[3, 4], characterizing
theoptical anisotropy
of thelinear
polarizability
of a molecule surroundedby
itsneighbours
in theliquid.
The influence of its nearestneighbours
on theoptical properties
of a moleculeis weak in
strongly
rarefiedmedia,
such as gases under low pressure, but is considerable in theliquid
state.Various intermolecular
interactions, primarily
of themultipolar
kind(e.g. dipole-dipole, dipole-quadru- pole, quadrupole-quadrupole) [4],
inconjunction
withthe geometry of the
molecule,
lead to the emergence ofstructural order in
shortest-range regions
in theliquid
and the formation of momentary systems of mole- cules. In the case of molecules endowed with a per- manent
dipole
moment(CH3CN, CHC13)
thedipole- dipole
interaction ispredominant, leading
to theformation of
privileged
two-moleculeconfigurations :
an
antiparallel,
and aparallel configuration,
as consi-dered
by
Piekara[8]
for nonlinear molecular reorien- tationphenomena. Quite generally,
molecularliquids
can present a
diatropic,
orparatropic,
structure[9].
Here,
weperform
ananalysis
of the effectiveoptical anisotropy
ofdipolar liquids
on theassumption that,
except for the molecules involved in the above men-tioned two-molecule systems, no
configuration
isfavoured as
regards
the molecules of theliquid,
butthat nonetheless well-defined
radial, dispersional
andmultipolar
interactions exist between them. The effectiveoptical anisotropy
is calculatedusing
themolecular-statistical
perturbation
calculus to thesecond
approximation inclusively,
and is shown todepend
onangular,
radial andangular-radial
para- meters. Acomparison

liquid,
of
volume V,
with Nanisotropic
molecules of asingle species.
In the absence of internai interference andspatial dispersion,
the effectiveoptical anisotropy
is
given
as follows[4, 12] :
where the
symbol >
stands for statisticalaveraging
in the presence of molecular
correlations,
andDp
is the deviator of the
symmetric
tensor of linearoptical polarizability Ap
of molecule p, acted onby
thesurrounding
medium. The deviatorDp
has the pro-perty
of zero trace : D : U = 0(with
U - the rank2 unit
tensor). Also,
if the linearoptical polarizability
tensor
Ap
isisotropic (as
it is fornon-interacting, isotropically polarizable
atoms andmolecules),
thedeviator
Dp
= 0.However,
in thegeneral
case,Ap depends
notonly
on theoptical properties
of themolecule considered in isolation
(on
its linearoptical polarizability ap)
but moreover on how theneigh- bouring

Restricting

we cal-culate in a

whereasT pq
is the tensorof dipole-dipole
interaction betweenmolecules p
and q,separated by r pq ;
in theabsence of
spatial dispersion, Tpq
is of the form :Considering
two-molecule interactionsonly,
we obtain[5, 6, 12] :

3.1 WEAK INTERACTIONS. - In
calculating
thecorrelation parameters J and K we assume the follow-
ing
form of the two-molecule correlation function9(2) (,rp,,rq) [3] :
where
If the intermolecular interactions are not
excessively
strong, one canproceed by
a seriesexpansion
of theexponential
function. In the zerothapproximation,
all J and K
except JR
vanish. With the energyV(rp,,

taken into account, the influence of the various interactions(26)
on the correlation parame- ters is found to begiven by
thefollowing expressions :

in eq.(28)-(35)
are two-molecule

of the form :3. 2 STRONG INTERACTION. -
By
strong interactionwe mean the formation of momentary molecular assemblies
(e.g. pairs
ofmolecules).
Their formdepends
on theoptical,
electric andgeometrical properties
of the isolated molecules.3.2.1 Molecules with
positive anisotropy of
linearoptical polarizability (y
>0).
- In adipolar axially- symmetric molecule,
thedipole
moment is directedalong
the symmetry axis(p = ,uk).
Molecules withpositive anisotropy,
y >0,
tend to formpairs
inwhich the two
dipole
moments aremutually
anti-parallel (Fig. la).
With the two molecules thusarrayed,
we have the relations : cos0p
= cos6q
=0,
cos
(x - O,q) = -
cosOpq,
and the interaction ener-gies
of eq.(26)
become functions of cosOpq.
We nowhave

the mutual distance between the two molecules[17] :
where the parameter u takes values from the interval 0.6 , u 0.74. Our calculàtions are
performed
foru = 0.6. For the
antiparallel configuration,
the para- meters J and K can now be written as follows :FIG. 1. - Favoured configurations for rod and plate-like

Thecoefficients b;

now becomes :4. Numerical calculations and conclusions. - We carried out numerical calculations for two selected
liquids, namely CH3CN
andCHC’31
withaxially- symmetric
moleculespossessing positive and,
respec-tively, negative anisotropy
of their linearoptical polarizability.
Table 1gives
theproperties
charac-terizing
the twoliquids
as well as their molecules.The effective
optical anisotropy F,,,p,
determined fromanisotropic light scattering
measurements, differs from thepolarizability anisotropy
of the isolatedmolecule
y2,
the differencebeing
due to contributions from various interactions. This dif’erencerep - y2
is
positive
in bothliquids.
With the aim of
calculating strictly T;nter
- theinfluence of interactions on the effective
optical anisotropy
- we took into consideration moreover ahigher approximation
to effectiveanisotropy
in theisotropic
moleculeapproximation [19] :

to 77.58 x 10-48cm6,
but isstrongly
lowered
by
the contribution from three-molecular radialinteractions,
eq.(23),
which amounts to- 75.72 x

of thecontribution from
dipole - dipole
interaction(-
0.48 x10-48 cm6)
is due to thenegative
aniso- tropy of linearpolarizability
of theCHCl3
molecule(y 0).
The effective
optical anisotropy
thus calculated forCH3CN
andCHC13
amounts to 130.86 x 10-48 cm6 and 8.55 x10-48
cm6respectively
and differs from theexperimentally
determined values lof 5.33 x10-48
cm’ and 7.64 x10-48
cm6[10].
Thedivergence,
in the caseof CH3CN,
is very considerable.Consequently,
we assume the existence of two- molecule systems aswell,
as considered in section3.2,
i.e. that the molecules ofCH3CN
tend to array themselves inpairs
withantiparallel dipoles
and those. of CHCl3
with theirdipoles parallel
to each other.On this model we obtain
by
eq.(38), (39)
forCH3CN
y, = 3.68 and Y2 = - 0.02 and hence
by
eq.(46)- (48)
a value ofF2
= 2.50 x10-48 cm6,
whereF2
stands for the effective
optical anisotropy
of themolecule when in a two-molecule
pair
ofantiparallel dipoles. Denoting by x
the percentage of moleculesforming
two-molecularpairs
andby ré
the effectiveoptical anisotropy
of the molecule at weak interaction with itsneighbours (Table IV),
one can determine xby comparison
with the value ofTé p
fromanisotropic light scattering
measurements. One has :whence
Insertion into

ofTW

Calculations
along
similar lines forCHC13
withrf =
2.71 x 10-48 cm6 from eq.(49)-(51), jTeip

= 8.55 x10-48
CM6 from table IVlead, by
eq.
(55),
to a value of x =0,156.
These results show
that,
inliquid CH3CN,
the vastmajority
of molecules form two-molecular systems withantiparallel dipoles
of the component molecules.In
liquid CHC13
the percentage of molecules involved inpairs
is verymarkedly lower, quite obviously
because the
dipole
moment of theCH3CN
moleculeis more than three times
larger
than thedipole
momentof
CHC13. By
thé way, thepercentage
of molecules involved inpairs
in theseliquids
isprobably
lower thanthe
percentage
calculatedabove,
as inreality
mole-cules in
pairs
are much closer to each other than the result of eq.(40),
which describes the mean distance between molecules in theliquid.
Even so, the abovemodel of a
liquid, composed
ofaxially-symmetric
molecules
having
apermanent
electricdipole
moment,provides
anadequate interpretation
of the effectiveexperimental
value of theoptical anisotropy.
