The polarizabilities and the first and second hyperpolarizabilities of 219 conjugated organic compounds are modeled by QSPR
(quantitative structure activity relationship) based on a large pool of constitutional, topological, electronic and quantum
chemical descriptors calculated by CODESSA Pro (comprehensive descriptors for structural and statistical analysis) derived
solely from molecular structure. Multilinear models were developed using the BMLR (best multilinear regression) algorithm
to relate the experimental (hyper)polarizabilities to their predicted values. The regression equations include AM1 (Austin
model 1) calculated (hyper)polarizabilities together with the size, electrostatic and quantum chemical descriptors to compensate
for the imprecision of the AM1 computational method. The results emphasize the main factors that influence (hyper)polarizability.
All models were validated by the “leave-one-out” method and internal validations that confirmed the stability and good predictive
ability.
