    Abstract

    A rigorous treatment of the local electric field is used to calculate effective molecular polarizabilities from optical data for naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene and bighenyl crystals. The principal axes of polarizability are typically 10° from the molecular axes, in accord with spectroscopic results. Various applications are outlined.
