How com/tag/d">do you harmonize scales like

  • C C# F F# Bb
  • Whole tone scale : C D E F# Ab Bb

?

(The scales above are just examples.)
Scales like these do not seem to bias to Major or Minor harmony, right?
What chords do you use/hear when these kind of scales are used?

The whole tone scale is generally associated with the augmented chord (+5 triad or +7 or 7#5, in the jazz notation).

Your first "scale" is not really a scale. C7sus4 b9 #11 matches, but so do does Bb -7 9 b13 / C

You'll get a large set of examples in the Scale Syllabus (http://www.jazzbooks.com/mm5/download/FREE-scale-syllabus.pdf).
