1933 C. K. Ingold in Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 1124 It cannot be doubted that a counterpart of two coexisting polarisations obtains also for polarisability effects, and that an inductive polarisability or inductomeric effect completes the scheme annexed.

1943 A. E. Remick Electronic Interpr. Org. Chem. v. 61 The extent to which the inductomeric effect is called into play..will depend on the strength of the polarizing field and on the polarizability of the bond in question.

1953 C. K. Ingold Struct. & Mech. Org. Chem. ii. 72 By inductomeric polarisability is understood the polarisability which atoms and groups in saturated combination exhibit along the lines of their bonds... For isoelectronic atoms with completed valency shells, inductomeric polarisability thus depends on electro~negativity.

1956 E. de B. Barnett Mech. Org. Chem. Reactions i. 4 If a powerful electron-repelling group such as a hydroxyl ion approaches a hydrogen atom of a nitromethane molecule..the resulting inductomeric effect is so great that a hydrogen atom is completely protonized.

1959 E. S. Gould Mechanism & Struct. Org. Chem. vii. 208 A number of workers..prefer to differentiate inductive influences in reactants and products from those electronic shifts that occur in the activated complex as a result of the electrical demands of one reagent on another. The former are termed inductive effects, the latter inductomeric effects.
