“…The molecular dipole moment of the studied lactones is high (μ ≈ 4.20 D [31,32]), so one may expect here rather strong short-range orientational correlations, such as observed in some liquids composed of molecules with similar dipole moments, as in acetonitrile, for example [33]. However, experimental data for the Kirkwood correlation factor, g, give evidence for very weak dipole-dipole correlations in GBL and GVL (g ≈ 1) [31]. For comparison, in the case of acetonitrile, which is quoted as a typical liquid with strong antiparallel dipolar correlation, the g-factor amounts to about 0.75 [34,35].…”
