Abstract
In this study, the dipole moment of imine derivatives is discussed in detail. Both the aldimines and ketimines are considered for this investigation. The influence of the substituted group at nitrogen and carbon position on the polarity is also investigated. Quantum mechanical AM1 method is chosen to calculate dipole moment of these molecules. Best of our knowledge, this is the first study on the dipole moment of imine derivatives. This theoretical analysis may help to realize the reactivity of the imines in diverse chemical reactions.
