Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been performed on the title molecules at the SCF-HF and MP2 levels to obtain molecular polarizabilities and the derivatives associated with bond stretch. The wave functions from these calculations have been analyzed with the theory of atoms in molecules (AIM). Both the polarizability and its derivative are successfully reconstructed from AIM terms representing the transfer of charge between atoms (CT = charge transfer) and the rearrangement of charge within an atomic basin (AD = atomic dipole). The results for the diatomics are compared to each other and to the alkanes studied previously. Equilibrium polarizabilities are qualitatively explained with reference to atomic electronegativity and type of bonding. While derivatives of the mean molecular polarizability differ by a factor of two at most, individual contributions vary by an order of magnitude. The derivatives along the bond axis for H2 are ΔCT = 2.06 and ΔAD = −0.62 × 10−30 C m/V, while for N2 they are ΔCT = 13.77 and ΔAD = −10.00 × 10−30 C m/V. The common feature observed is that as the induced dipole due to charge transfer increases, the induced dipole due to changes in the atomic dipole also increases and opposes it. Key words: diatomic molecules, molecular polarizability, molecular polarizability derivative, theory of atoms in molecules, ab initio molecular orbital calculations.

Calibrated Raman spectra of the rare gas homonuclear diatoms are obtained over a wide range of intensities, with polarizations of the incident beam parallel and perpendicular to the direction of observation. From the resulting spectra [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], the polarized (P) and depolarized[Formula: see text] components are separated for the first time for the diatoms of 3He, Ar, Kr, and Xe. For direct comparison with the measurements, wave mechanical lineshapes are computed using models of the diatom polarizability tensor invariants as input. New empirical trace and anisotropy functions, consistent with the spectroscopic measurements, are thus obtained for the rare gases. We compare these where possible with existing measurements and ab initio computations.

Molecular polarizability and changes in the polarizability associated with the stretch of C–C and C–H bonds have been calculated for thirty-four saturated hydrocarbons, including the series of n-alkanes to C15, as well as several cyclo- and bicycloalkanes, propellanes, prismanes, and hedranes. The ab initio results (HF/D95(d,p)) are compared to experimental Raman trace scattering intensities where such information is available. Possible factors governing trends in the magnitude of the derivatives are considered. For the C–C stretches, chain length and position along the chain are the most important factors for the n-alkanes, whereas strain appears to be significant for the ring and caged structures. For the C–H stretches, the most significant factors are the same as those found in our earlier work: location, type, and orientation relative to the carbon skeleton.Key words: hydrocarbons, Raman scattering intensities, molecular polarizability, polarizability derivatives, theory of atoms in molecules.
