Abstract
VERY little work has so far been done on the magnetic susceptibilities of organic vapours. Vaidya-nathan's1 experiments indicate that in the case of some liquids, such as benzene, carbon disulphide, pentane and hexane, there is considerable divergence between the liquid and vapour values. Sivarama-krishnan's2 careful measurements by a new method3 developed in this laboratory also gave a similar result in the case of benzene (a molar susceptibility of 79.6 × 106 for the vapour and 54.6 × 106 for the liquid).
