Prompted by recent experimental reinvestigations of the Buckingham birefringence of CO, CO2, OCS and N2O, we have carried out our own reinvestigation of the relevant first- and second-order properties entering the electric-field-gradient-induced birefringence effect of N2O and OCS by means of state-of-the-art quantum chemical methods. The computed and experimentally derived results remain at significant variance, also in consequence of a remarkable disagreement between the ab initio and the experimental values of the quadrupole moment relative to the centre of the nuclear masses.

Abstract

Prompted by recent experimental reinvestigations of the Buckingham birefringence of CO, CO2, OCS and N2O, we have carried out our own reinvestigation of the relevant first- and second-order properties entering the electric-field-gradient-induced birefringence effect of N2O and OCS by means of state-of-the-art quantum chemical methods. The computed and experimentally derived results remain at significant variance, also in consequence of a remarkable disagreement between the ab initio and the experimental values of the quadrupole moment relative to the centre of the nuclear masses.
