To: chemistry@www.ccl.net (CCL) Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 17:10:44 +0000 (GMT) Cc: T.vanMourik@UCL.ac.uk (Tanja van Mourik) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear CClers, Would anyone know a value for the experimental dipole moment of indole, preferably with error bars? A recent paper on indole lists a value of 2.13 Debye, which comes from the Tables of Experimental Dipole Moments, A.L. McClellan (1963). The original reference of this number dates back to 1944, and since our library does not have such old journals, I have no idea about the accuracy of this result. The newer version of the Tables of Experimental Dipole Moments (1974) apparently got lost in our library... I assume that there are some newer experiments available. I would be very grateful for any response.
