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.
