Molecular polarisability. Anisotropies of silicon containing groups
Abstract
Electric dipole moments and molar Kerr constants of nine organosilicon compounds examined as solutes are analysed to derive component group polarisabilities. The polarisability tensor is specified for Si–Me, Si–H, Si–F, Si–Cl, Si–O and Si–N. A “valence-optical scheme” appears valid for this series of compounds.
