N2  - Measurements of the infinite-dilution molar Kerr constant, field-gradient birefringence constant and Cotton-Mouton constant of carbon diselenide as a solute in carbon tetrachloride at 298 K are reported. From an analysis of the observations, the molecular quadrupole moment, &#920;, and the magnetic anisotropy, &#916;X, emerge as (+15.4 ± 2.7) &#215; 10-40 Cm2 and (-19.6 ± 2.6) &#215; 10-5 J T-2 mol-1, respectively. Trends in these and related electric and magnetic properties are considered for the sequence of six linear triatomic molecules of formula XCY (X,Y = O,S,Se).
