Abstract
Banerjee and Palit1 have reported a value of 0.29 D. for the dipole moment of zinc oleate in contrast to values of 1.20 and 1.66 D. for the oleates of copper and magnesium. A possible reason for this anomaly has been found in the course of an ebullioscopic investigation of the micellar weights of some of the metal soaps in benzene and other solvents.
