1. Introduction
and theory
compare autocorrelation functions (a&s) calculated from the itinerant oscilmotion developed lcccntly by Coffey et ad. [l-3] with experimental results from three separate fields. Thcsc arc (a) depolarised light scattering 141 from liquids subject to kilobars of external pressure, (b) molecular dynamics results using the atom- atompotential of Tildesley and Streett [SJ, (c) far infrared absorption of 2 highly dipolnr species in dilute solution. Several intcrrelatcd autocorrelation functions are obtained by using these three techniques simultaneously, thus providing a stern test for the model.For details of this planar rncchanism see refs. [ l- -31. IIerc WCstate merely that the librations of a molecule within a cage of its neighbours are represented by the angular motion of a disk harmonically bound within an un1~u1us or ring which is ltsclf undergoing rotational brownian motion. The equations of motion governing this system lead to an angular velocity acf, C,(t), of the form In

where 0 is a coordinate which specifics the angular position of a dipole I, lying along the axis of the disk at any time t > 0. For convenience, O(O) is taken to be coincident with the direction of a steady electric field E, and it is rssumed that this field is suddenly removed at the time E = 0. Further, hI, hz and h, are the roots of the equation: 142

If y?(r) is the angle which a point on the rim of the annulus makes with the reference direction at time f and if II is the moment of inertia of the annulus, then i#$ is the frictional couple acting on the annulus due to the surroundings. o. is the angular frequency of oscillation of the disk when the annulus is held in a fixed position and $ = (12/I,)o& w here f2 is the moment of inertia of the disk.

2. Experimental The original data for this latter consists of the far infrared spectrum of the highly dipolar species CfI$l, in dilute Ccl4 solution. This spectrum was chosen to eliminate: (i) dipole--dipole coupling [7] ; (ii) collision induced effects 181. The data were obtained wit!1 a Mark 3 Grubb-Parsons/N.P.L.

is increased a thousandfold by application of extefnal hydraulic pressure. The values of p and St: vary much more rapidly, and the latter (which is related to (7$/C$ -- <7$) increases a thousandfold in a few instances as the external pressure is increased over the same range. It seems that the interpretation of S26 as (12/II)wg is not meaningful experirncntaily, but in general, a very high value of S2$08 means that (Ti) changes very rapidly with time at certain points in its domain of definition. The p2(t) function predicted by this fitting decays consistently more slowly than the experimental response function (corrected by Litovitz et al. for collision induced polarisabilities). This is due in some measure to our USCof a planar model. 144

3.2. iVolecrtlar dytwnics
In this case angular velocity and torque acfs were computed for a d~irnbbel~ potential using an atom-atom algorithm (described fully by Evans et al. [lOI and by Tildesiey and Streett [S] ) under the conditions dcscribcd
in the caption to fig. 2. For an interatomic separatiorl of d * = 0.5 in reduced units [5] the computed angular ncf is fitted accurately by the analytical model and the torque acf realistically predicted. Thus work wilt be expanded in a fort~~~otning publication in order to evaluate the undcr~ying dependence of ($> on interatomic separation d*. This result indicates that a planar molecule is capable of reproducing the molecular dynamics results, which arc derived from 3-D space reorientations. It might be interesting to use an algorithm based on an enscmbie of rough disks, but previous computations have shown that in this case the angular velocity acf is always exponential. This indicates that an atom-atom potential is the more realistic, since an ~~ci~~at~~~angular velocity acf is needed to fit both Rayleigh scattering and far infrared data. velocity

where fc is the unit dipole vector. In a plane, this wouid be --iI (t). This is true regardless of mol&~~lar symmetry. The match is less satisfactory than for the results of the other two techniques considered hcrc but stili within about 210% [6] over most of the time interval up to 4 reduced units. At short times the fit is far closer than in the case of the Wyllie/Larkirl version [S,l 11 of the bamc model. From fig. 3 the lich variety of dynamical infortnation obtainable is clearly apparent. In particular the angular velocity acf is oscillatory. This seems to be tl-Jc generally [l I], since F1 cxpe~inen~~ly becomes negative at ix~terlnediate times. 4. Cunclusions (i) The 2-D itiner~t oscillator modeli reproduces closely the molccuiar dynaluics of molecules in fluids as manifested by the three different probes used here. (ii) The predicted angular velocity acf is not a pure exponential but rather an oscillatory function of time. This seems to be the cast gcncrally for small molcculcs. 145
