Raman intensities: Transferability of electrooptical parameters

Abstract

Abstract In this paper the electrooptical theory of valence for the study of Raman intensities is reanalysed and extended to the case of non‐cylindrical tensors. The advantages of this theory with respect to other methods are described. The transferability of electrooptical parameters to other molecules (isotopic derivatives or chemically similar molecules) is discussed and some examples (methane and cyclohexane) are presented.
