Abstract Literature data on H/D isotope effects on polarizability are reviewed. An argument based on perturbation theory correlates the isotopic differences with electronic transition moments via vibrational averaging. The contribution of the second moment isotope effect is especially important. The approach is first illustrated with a calculation on H2/D2 and then employed to correlate differential refractive index data on about twenty other H/D isotopic pairs. A table of bond polarizability isotope effects is presented which permits the estimation of polarizability isotope effects for various kinds of H/D substituted compounds. Coupling these results with known isotope effects on vibrational amplitude permits calculation of vapor phase virial coefficient isotope effects, while combina­tion with refractive index data on liquids yields reasonable values for the sum of the isotope effects on molar volume and electronic second moment. However the quantitative correlation of the polarizability isotope effect with isotope effects on vapor pressure or thermodynamic activity is less direct.
