%X The usefulness of the empirical equation [M]D = m&#931;RD+I, first proposed by Davis and Jensen, in the correlations of the molecular rotations of series of structurally closely related compounds was originally limited to monovalent and linear substituents ([M]D is the molecular rotation, &#931;RD is the sum of bond refractions, and m and I are constants for a given series of compounds). A different treatment of the term &#931;RD extends the usefulness of the equation to all types of substituents.
