Abstract
IN former communications1, we reported that the cupric salts, anhydrous or hydrated, with n- and iso-monocarboxylic acids might consist of the dimeric molecules having a sort of copper-to-copper linkage. In continuation of these researches, we have recently examined the structure of cupric salts with mono-, di- and tri-chloroacetic acids, using the criteria previously derived: (1) the cupric alkanoates involving the dimeric molecules show, in addition to a band at about 43 × 1013 c./s., an absorption band of a special kind at about 80 × 1013 c./s., which was regarded as due possibly to the presence of the copper-to-copper linkage; (2) the polarization of the latter band is the reverse of the polarization of the former.
