Abstract
The polarizabilities of a number of aromatic hydrocarbons and the three ful lerenes (C-60, C-70 and C-84) have been calculated using a new empirical ap proach based on the square of the sum of the atomic hybrid components(tau ( A)) as given by the relationship alpha ((ahc))=4/N[Sigma (A)tau (A)](2) (An gstrom (3)), where the summation proceeds over all atoms A=1,2,3---, and N is the total number of electrons in the molecule. The geometries have also been optimized.
