%X Electric birefringences , dipole moments and refractivities are reported for a series of organotin compounds. From these are deduced molecular polarizability anisotropies which, with data from Raman band intensities, can be dissected to give the anisotropic polarizabilities for component tin-containing groups. The results fit reasonably within a 'valence-optical' scheme of group polarizability  additivity. Regular trends are observed in the directional polarizabilities of groups containing the Group 4b elements Si, Ge and Sn.
