The structure and reactivity of a molecule in the condensed phase are governed by its intermolecular interactions with the surrounding environment. The multipole expansion of each molecule in the condensed phase indicates that the intermolecular interactions are essentially electrostatic (e.g., ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, dipole–quadrupole, dipole−induced dipole). The electrostatic field is a fundamental language of intermolecular communications. Therefore, understanding the influence of the electrostatic field on a molecule, that is, the mechanisms by which an electrostatic field manipulates a molecule, from the perspective of molecular structure, energy states, and dynamics is indispensable for illustrating and, by extension, controlling the chemistry in molecular systems.

直流电场操纵分子的最新进展

分子在凝聚相中的结构和反应性受分子与周围环境的分子间相互作用的控制。每个分子在凝聚相中的多极膨胀表明分子间的相互作用本质上是静电的（例如，离子-偶极，偶极-偶极，偶极-四极，偶极诱导的偶极）。静电场是分子间通信的基本语言。因此，从分子结构，能态和动力学的角度了解静电场对分子的影响（即，静电场操纵分子的机制）对于说明和扩展控制分子结构是必不可少的。分子系统中的化学。
