"This is the window whose panes were broken by the rude boys." Use
"the panes of which." Because of its convenience, perhaps, the faulty

play whose chief merit," "Music whose chief attraction," etc.

Which and Who after "And"
Which and who cannot follow and unless there has been a preceding
which or who in the same sentence and in the same construction.
"The more important rules, definitions and observations, and which are
therefore the most proper to be committed to memory, are printed with
a large type."-- Murray's Grammar. In Moore's Bad English the sentence
is corrected thus: "The rules, definitions, and observations which are
the more important, and which are therefore the most proper to be
committed to memory, are printed in larger type."
Adverbs for Relative Pronouns
Adverbs are often employed where a preposition with a relative pronoun
would better express the sense.
