Electron-molecule hard-core radii determined with the aid of Springett, Jortner, and Cohen's quasi-free electron theory from electron work function data are shown to correlate with the critical volumes of several hydrocarbons. The radii are approximately equal to the van der Waals radii determined from the critical volumes.
