Conclusions

  1. 1.

    A method was developed for determining the anisotropies of polarizability in bonds and groups of atoms from data on the specific rotation of optically active molecules.

  2. 2.

    The polarizability ellipsoids were determined for the cyclopropane ring and for the C-H and C-C bonds adjacent to it.

  3. 3.

    The polarizability of cyclopropane is highest in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the ring.
