The mean molar susceptibility (χ_{M}) for the two compounds 3,5-dibromo-p-aminobenzoic acid, Br_{2}C_{6}H_{2}(p-NH_{2})COOH, and 3,5-dibromo-p-hydroxybenzoic acid, Br_{2}C_{6}H_{2}(p-OH)COOH, has been determined. The principal molecular susceptibilities K^{∥} and K^{⊥} have been evaluated. The magnetic anisotropy of each of the two compounds was obtained. From the atonic coordinates, as given by the X-ray structure analysis of Br_{2}C_{6}H_{2}(p-NH_{2})COOH, the crystal susceptibilities (χ_{a}, χ_{b}, and χ_{c}) have been calculated. The magnetic properties are interpreted in the light of the crystal structure.
