For the investigation of the system methyl chloride-chlorine, in which both components are vapors a t ordinary temperatures, a special apparatus, shown in Fig. 3, was used. This consisted essentially of a closed reaction cell immersed in a pentane bath, the temperature of which could readily be controlled between - 1500 and +20° by means of liquid air. Accessory devices facilitated the introduction of measured amounts of either component into the cell. For

nated by special calibration of the pentane thermometer with the aid of several pure gases whose (known) melting points were determined in the same way. The data are submitted in Table 11, and are plotted in Fig. 2 . The data in the foregoing tables clearly indicate the formation of three chlorinates of methylene chloride, and two chlorinates of methyl chloride, all with congruent melting points, as follows (1) methylene chloride hemichlorinate, (CHzClt)t.Clt, - 124.5" (2) methylene chloride monochlorinate, CHzClyClz, 126.5" (3) methylene chloride dichlorinate, CH2C1*.2Clz, -117.5" (4) methyl chloride hemichlorinate, (CH&1)2.C12, - 120' (5) methyl chloride monochlorinate, CHsCI*Clz,- 122 '

While no evidence concerning the' structure of these compounds has been obtained as yet, it is possible to write their formulas in the manner tentatively suggested for the chlorinates of chloroform and of carbon tetrachloride in the earlier

articles of the current series. The fact that the maximum number of chlorine molecules held in combination by any of the chloromethanes is equal to the number of chlorine atoms in the chloromethane molecule tends, in the opinion of the authors, to confirm the idea that the solvates under investigation are coordination compounds. In conformity with the definition of perchlorides proposed in the second article of this series, the three chlorinates of methylene chloride and the two of methyl chloride may be regarded as perchlorides of methylene, and of methyl, respectively. Their empirical composition could therefore be expressed by the formulas (CH%)zC16, CHZC14, CHZCls, (CH&Cl, and CH3C13.

Summary Two chlorinates of methyl chloride, or perchlorides of methyl, and three chlorinates of methylene chloride, or perchlorides of methylene, have been identified and their congruent melting Points d e t e r m i m i ITHACA,N. y.
