Intermolecular Force - London Dispersion Force

London Dispersion Force

Otherwise known as quantum -induced instantaneous polarization or instantaneous dipole-induced dipole force, the London dispersion force is caused by correlated movements of the electrons in interacting molecules. Electrons that belong to different molecules start "fleeing" and avoiding each other at the short intermolecular distances, which is frequently described as formation of "instantaneous dipoles" that attract each other.

Intramolecular multiple force theory (IMMFT) is a concept which deals with the forces which are developed in different domains of similar supramolecules. The supramolecules such as dendrimer and others have different discrete zones with their own environment and center of forces and these forces when coordinated to each other in similar molecules, a unique molecular mechanics and dynamics are developed known as the intramolecular multiple force theory.

Famous quotes containing the words london, dispersion and/or force:

    Fashion understands itself; good-breeding and personal superiority of whatever country readily fraternize with those of every other. The chiefs of savage tribes have distinguished themselves in London and Paris, by the purity of their tournure.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The slogan offers a counterweight to the general dispersion of thought by holding it fast to a single, utterly succinct and unforgettable expression, one which usually inspires men to immediate action. It abolishes reflection: the slogan does not argue, it asserts and commands.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    There is ... but one response possible from us: Force, Force to the uttermost, Force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant Force which shall make Right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
