Dipole moment of water from Stark measurements of H2O, HDO, and D2O

Abstract: The equilibrium dipole moment of the water molecule has been determined from Stark effect measurements on two H2O, one D2O, and six HDO rotational transitions. The variation of the dipole moment projection operator with rotational state is taken into account and expressions are given for this operator evaluated in the ground vibrational states of the three isotopes. The value obtained for the equilibrium dipole moment is |0μx| = 1.8473 ± 0.0010 D. The effective dipole moments in the principal axis energy repre… Show more

“…Two sets of AMOEBA values are listed, corresponding to the ideal bond angle of 108.5°and the experimental angle of 104.52°. 77 AMOEBA atomic multipole parameters were obtained at the experimental angle. However, classical models with intramolecular flexibility, polarizable or not, tend to exhibit a reduced H-O-H bond angle upon moving from the gas phase to condensed phases, 78-82 a trend opposite to the experimental observation.…”

“…(3) should correspond to the electron distribution around the water monomer in the condensed phase. We know that the charge distribution changes significantly from the gas phase to the liquid based on the observed gas phase dipole moment of 1.85D 96 while it is estimated to increase to 2.6-3.0D in the liquid phase 36 . This change in dipole reflects that the water molecule in the condensed phase is much better represented as having far more charge around the oxygen atom than is the case for the isolated atom.…”
