Analyses .-In the analysis for phosphonofluoridate in the chloroform phase, one ml. of this phase was added to a cylinder containing 40 ml. of acetone, 4 ml. of buffer, 2 ml. of o-tolidine reagent, 2 ml. of chloroform and 10 ml. of water. For the aqueous phase, 10 ml. was added to a cylinder containing 40 ml. of acetone, 4 ml. of buffer, 2 ml. of o-tolidine and 3 ml. of chloroform. The concentration in each phase was determined by comparison of the net colorimetric readings with the calibration curve.

Results The results of a typical experiment, zlix., the determination of the distribution coefficient (solvent/ water) of I between chloroform and water, are given in Table I. DATAFOR

which also includes the number of runs made for each determination and the standard deviation from the mean. Discussion An attempt was made t o correlate the distribution coefficients between I and various organic solvents with Hildebrand and Scott's "solubility parameter."6 (This quantity, b, which has been identified with the internal pressure of a liquid has been useful in predicting the solubility of one liquid in another.) In general the closer the b-values of two liquids, the greater the mutual solubility.6 The b of I was calculated to be 9.04 from the equation
