Hello,

 calculating dipole moments of systems containing charged molecules is
not straightforward, especially for ionic liquids. To obtain the
frequency dependent dielectric constant you have to perform a FT of the
autocorrelation function for the total dipole moment. However due to the
PBC, the function of the total dipole moment in time is not continuous
and cannot be derived by simple averaging over the time frames. C.
Schroeder from the group of O. Steinhauser has calculated IL spectra and
I would take a look at their published literature.
