Abstract
It is pointed out that for C–C, C–H, C–O, and C—halogen bonds, the experimental data on molecular polarizability tensors (light depolarization data, Kerr constants, etc.) do not permit evaluation of longitudinal and transverse bond polarizabilities. Only certain linear combinations of these quantities, involving parameters for more than one type of bond, are determinable. The data pertaining to these bonds are discussed in this light. Denbigh's longitudinal and transverse polarizabilities1 for C—halogen bonds probably are essentially correct, but his C–C and C–H polarizabilities are not meaningful.
