“…The current results are compared in Fig. 2 with precise gas-phase values available for the hydrogen halides, HF [24], HCl [25], HBr [26], HI [27], methyl halides, CH 3 F [28], CH 3 Cl [29], CH 3 Br [30], CH 3 I [31], and tertiary butyl halides [14]. The dipole moment is plotted as a function of the polarizability of the halogen atom [33], which is a property that plays a key role in the evolution of the molecular dipole moment.…”
