Abstract
The suggestion is made and examined that ‘vertical’ polarisabilities of C–C bonds in planar polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons can be computed from known C–C inter-centre distances, and that molecular polarisabilities, b3, perpendicular to the ring-planes, can be obtained therefrom by appropriate summations. In-plane polarisabilities, b1 and b2, can then be extracted from observed molar Kerr constants and refractions. A related proposition for longitudinal bond polarisabilities is also considered.Keywords
