dear Alex
I don't think that the two matrix element should be equal and opposite.
suppose you apply both displacement together which means you displace
the molecule as a whole.
the eigenvalue will not change, hence < i | dV | i > = 0
but the new eigen-wavefunctions | i' > will be the translated of the
original ones, hence different from them.
to first order |i'> = |i> + sum |j> <j|dv|i>/delta e_IJ
since |i'> =/= |i> no reason to believe that < j | d V | i > = 0.
