Metzger, R M

The MINDO/3-FP method was used to obtain molecular polarizabilities ..cap alpha.. and atom-in-molecule polarizabilities ..cap alpha../sub i/ for the neutral molecules 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), tetrathiofulvalene (TTF), and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylparaphenylenediamine (TMPD), and their radical ions TCNQ/sup -/, TTF/sup +/, and TMPD/sup +/. Except for the direction perpendicular to the molecular plane, the ..cap alpha.. and the ..cap alpha../sub i/ describe fairly well the covalent bonding environment. The radical ions are more polarizable than their parent neutral molecules, but not spectacularly so. The ..cap alpha../sub i/ appear to be covalent bond polarizabilities, and are the largest for the atoms that lie on the longest molecular axis.
