Notes:
A theoretical expression giving the far-infrared spectrum of a dilute solution of diatomic polar molecules in a nonpolar liquid solvent is derived in order to analyze the influence on this spectrum from the J=1 and J=2 components of the Legendre polynomial expansion of the anisotropic solute–solvent potential. A non-Markovian spectral theory incorporating finite correlation of the interaction, mixing effects between rotational lines and quantum intermolecular potential correlation functions is used. This theory allows one to analyze the influence of each anisotropic part of the interaction in terms of a very reduced set of parameters: the strength and the width of its time correlation function. The zero and finite frequency components of the J=2 contribution are also studied. In particular, we show that the use of quantum potential correlation functions gives a zero frequency component not only in the width, but also in the shift of the different rotational lines. Numerical results for DCl, HCl, and HF in SF6 liquid at 273 K are obtained.
