Ab initio molecular orbital theory has been used to deduce the preferred gas-phase conformations of vinyl formate and vinyl acetate. In addition, experimental dipole moments (1030μ/Cm) and molar Kerr constants (1027mK/m5 V-2 mol-1) at 25�C are reported for both molecules as solutes in carbon tetrachloride: vinyl formate (5.07, + 48.1) and vinyl acetate (5.70, + 3.8). The preferred solution-state conformations indicated by the analysis of these results are shown to be consistent with the theoretical predictions.

Ab initio molecular orbital theory at the STO-3G level is used to elucidate the structures and relative abundances of stable conformations of the three benzenedicarbaldehydes. In addition, new measurements of the infinite-dilution dipole moments and molar Kerr constants of these molecules as solutes in dioxan at 25�C are reported and analysed. The previously recognized inability of the simple group- additivity model to reliably predict the anisotropy in the polarizability of benzene-1,4-dicarbaldehyde is shown to be due to a redistribution of the polarizability in the molecular plane.

Ab initio molecular orbital theory has been used to investigate the acidities and basicities of alcohols (ROH), alkylamines (RNH2) and alkynes (RCCH) (R = Me, Et, isopropyl, t-butyl). In all cases, the acidities and basicities increase in the order R = Me < Et < Pri < But. Analysis of the calculated charge distributions shows that alkyl groups can donate or accept electrons on demand and that the larger alkyl groups examined do this more effectively than the smaller ones.

Ab initio molecular orbital theory at the G 2 level has been used to predict new values for the heat of formation of formaldimine (CH2=NH): ?Hfº0 = 94 ±10 kJ mol-1 and ?Hfº298 = 86 ±10 kJ mol-1.
