Abstract
DR. KATZIN bases his argument chiefly on certain similarities in the behaviour of uranyl nitrate and the divalent transition metal nitrates in acetone and tertiary butyl alcohol. In ethers, however, the differences in solubility are extraordinarily large, and this forms one of our main pieces of evidence. It implies that the free energy of transference from water to ether is some 10 k.cal./mol. greater for uranyl than for, say, cobalt nitrate.
