DETERMINATION OF A POLARIZABILITY INDEX BY MEANS OF A MOLECULAR TOPOLOGY

The polarizability of the molecule is an important property to account for molecular interactions. Different polarizability indices have bee n proposed all based on the knowledge of the refraction index. This pr operty is not always easily obtained at room temperature in the liquid state. In the present study, a topological method (i.e., only based o n structure) is proposed, validated by a great number of experimental data. Also the molar volume at the boiling point has been estimated in a topological way.
