ing orthorhombic symmetry. The mean refractive index is 1.85 f 0.03, in agreement with the value 1.85 calculated as above. The differences in the optical properties suggest that this compound may not be isomorphic with the isoformular rubidium compound. Cs3PuC16.-This compound melts congruently a t 825 =t 3" and. on cooling, undergoes polymorphic transformation a t 410". Crystals of the roomtemperature modification are green in bulk by reflected light but, immersed in liquid of similar refractive index, are transparent and virtually colorless by transmitted light. They are optically anisotropic and exhibit very fine, complex, polysynthetic twnning. The mean refractive index is around 1.7, in agreement with the value 1.73 calculated as above. Discussion It is interesting to note the similarity between PuC13 and UCljb6in the formation of double salts with alkali chlorides. KO compounds occur in the binary systems involving LiCl or NaC1. There exist iLIPuzC17-type compounds, where hI = Rb or Cs, hlzPuCl5-type compounds where 31 = K or Rb, and R13PuC16-typecompounds where bI = K, Rb or Cs. Acknowledgments.-We are indebted to A. TIT.

In Table I1 the pH values are given after adding 1/2 and 3/2 equivalents of hydrogen ion per mole of ligand in the presence of magnesium.

We report here the results of refractive index and density measurements for the systems tetra-nbutylammonium picrate (Bu4NPi) in nitrobenzene and in chlorobenzene, tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (BaNI) in o-dichlorobenzene and in water, and sodium tetraphenylboride, tetra-n-propylammonium iodide (Pr4NI), tetraethylammonium bromide and tetramethylammonium chloride in water.

where L is the polyphosphate anion. At 65' and pH values over 7 a precipitate formed rapidly in solutions containing pyrophosphate and an excess of magnesium, so that no values for MgP2072-, and Mg,P207are reported a t that temperature. The results a t 25' agree very well with those previously reported. The formation constants for the magnesium complexes a t 65' are very close to those a t 25') and the AH for complex formation is 0 zt 1 kcal. Previous extensive work8 with calcium complexing by pyrophosphate and tripolyphosphate showed the AH values to be less than 4 kcal. and attributed complex formation to positive entropy changes. Obviously, in magnesium complexing by polyphosphat'es the same interpretation applies. These results suggest that a relationship may exist between the heats of dissociation of a hydrogen and a metal ion from a ligand. This is not surprising since the two processes are somewhat similar.

The sodium tetraphenylboride was recrystallized from water, and the tetran-propylammonium iodide was recrystallized from ethanol. Solvents.-The solvents were purified by recrystallization (nitrobenzene), distillation (water), and in the case of chlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene, passed through an alumina column and then distilled. Apparatus.-Densities were determined with a reproducibility of 0.02% using a Lipkin pycnometer, the volume of the stems having been calibrated with mercury a t 25", and the volume of the bulb with water a t 25". Solutions were equilibrated in an oil thermostat set at 25.0'. Refractive indices were obtained with a reproducibility of 0.01% using a Bausch and Lomb Abbe-3L refractometer. The light source waB an ordinary 40 watt incandescent lamp. The refractometer was connected to a circulating 25" water thermostat.
