Differential cross section (DCS) measurements are reported for scattering of a He atomic beam by crossed beams of C/sub 2/H/sub 2/, C/sub 2/H/sub 4/, C/sub 2/H/sub 6/, and CHF/sub 3/. In addition, interaction virial measurements and accurate limiting diffusion measurements are presented for these systems. Damping of the DCS diffraction oscillations is used to extract anisotropic intermolecular potentials, which are constrained in multiproperty fits to accurately reproduce the dilute gas data. The radial anisotropies determined are in the sequence C/sub 2/H/sub 6/>C/sub 2/H/sub 4/)similarreverse arrowto)C/sub 2/H/sub 2/>CHF/sub 3/, as sampled by the He probe
