Abstract
The values of the second rank orientational correlation function g 2 and the effective polarizability anisotropy of liquids CS2, C6H6 and C6F6 were determined by combining data from the Rayleigh spectrum with Cotton-Mouton measurements on these liquids in a way which avoids difficulties with the interaction-induced polarizability. A detailed discussion of the errors associated with this procedure is presented. The values are used to interpret the Kerr constants of these liquids. The value of g 2 is combined with Rayleigh and Raman reorientational relaxation times to determine the dynamic orientational correlation parameter. Comparison with previous values suggests the plausibility of calculating the effective polarizability in a dielectric model.
