Abstract
The principal refractive indices of some organic aromatic crystals of known structure have been measured and the principal molecular refractivities deduced from these and the molecular orientation. The substances investigated include aromatic compounds having three rings, two rings or one ring with different substituents. The results give a clear indication that strong magnetic anisotropy is always associated with strong optical anisotropy.
