Studies in Acetyl Bromide as a Polar Solvent. Part I Solubility of Substances, Formation of Solvates, and Electrical Conductance of Solutions

Solubilities of several substances including a few Lewis acids, bromides, and organic tertiary bases have been tried in acetyl bromide and the formation of solvates in this solvent has been studied. Solutions of the Lewis acids and bases in acetyl bromide have been found conducting, which indicates the formation of ion pairs. The constitution of these solutions has been discussed
