7) It appears from previous measurements that this orientational axis is identical with the longitudinal axis of inertia, however, we have not proved this generalization rigorously.(8) We are indebted to the referees for their comments on this matter. (9) Similar relations were derived by Norden [Chem. Script., 1, 145 (1971)] for the interpretation of the linear dichroic spectra of certain triarylmethane dyes. (10) The "in-plane" transitions are those polarized in the best plane of the molecule (which includes the twofold symmetry axis) whereasthe "out-of-plane" transitions are those polarized out of this plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
