Abstract

Dipole moments of straight-chain aliphatic esters Ia-Ic and IIa-IIf were measured in benzene solution. The observed trends are poorly reproduced by the classical Smith-Eyring theory; the reason may be partly the unknown conformation, partly even donor-acceptor complexes with the solvent. No deviations were observed with the highest members of the series, attributable to violation of some basic assumptions of the theory of dielectrics.
