Dipole moments and conformations of some substituted benzaldehydes

Abstract
Experimental electric dipole moments are reported for a number of substituted benzaldehydes (o-, m-, and p-XC6H4CHO; X = NO2, CN, F, Br) as solutes in carbon tetrachloride or benzene at 25�C. Analysis of results yields information concerning the preferred conformations of thesemolecules.
