Abstract
Chloride lability in the solvent sulfur monochloride was investigated by studying radiochlorine exchange rates between the solvent and the four solutes tetraethylammonium chloride, antimony tri- and pentachlorides, and thionyl chloride. Exchange is rapid and complete in the first three cases and, at best, very slow in the last. The results suggest a ready dissociation of solvent chloride in the presence of (and only in the presence of) a strong chloride acceptor, none being evident with thionyl chloride. It is inferred that the ready exchange observed with the ionic substance, tetraethylammonium chloride, probably goes via a bimolecular process or an association equilibrium. The experiments appear to imply a limited general importance for chloride dissociation in this medium. (auth)
