p-xylene

Bond Length:

The literature[6] bond lengths for the C-C bond and the C-H bond are 0.153nm and 0.1084nm respectively.

HOMO and LUMO Orbitals:



Partial Charges:


Electrostatic Potential:
The electrostatic potential shows the charge distribution, or where the electrons are most likely to be, throughout the whole molecule. Areas that are red are low potential and have more electrons resent. The blue areas have the highest potential and lowest number of electrons.


Vibrations:
The following calculated vibrations are what would be seen in and IR spectrum.













Dipole Moments:
The literature[1] value for the dipole moment of p-xylene is 0D. The best level of geometry optimization (DZV) was the closest to the literature value.
