nonlinear bond(s)
Explanation:
"Es kommt nicht selten vor, dass interne Koordinaten im Verlauf einer
Optimierung aufhören, wohldefiniert zu sein, z.B. wenn eine ursprünglich gewinkelte Bindung linear wird, ist ein
über sie definierter Torsionswinkel sinnlos."

(www.thch.uni-bonn.de/tc/download/grueneich.armin.dipl.ps)

"The polar and nonlinear bonds give rise to a large dipole moment."

hidden bonds


Explanation:
I haven't encountered the expression, but my guess is that they are talking of bonds that are hidden from investigation, due to conformation details, because they dob't show up on NMR or other resonance analysis or similar...
