    Abstract

    Improved equipment has been used to record the vapor-phase Rayleigh depolarization ratios and electrooptical Kerr effects of CH₃Br, CH₂Br₂, CHBr₃, and CBr₄ at elevated temperatures. The measurements yield experimental values of the anisotropic polarizabilities and the Kerr hyperpolarizabilities of these molecules. As well, Dougherty and Spackman's HUZ-SV(+sd+sp) basis set has been used to compute SCF and MP2-level polarizabilities, and these are compared with the experimental results.
