Abstract
Abstract The diamagnetic susceptibility per gram of iodine in solutions of various solvents was measured with a Gouy magnetic balance at room temperature. The value −0.363×10−6 in hexane solution was practically identical with that of iodine in pure phase. The values of diamagnetism of iodine in carbon disulfide, benzene, toluene, ethyl alcohol, and acetone ranging from −0.329 to −0.341 are only slightly smaller than the value in hexane, in disagreement with the data found in literatures. A qualitative support for the present writers’ result was afforded by theoretical considerations based on Mulliken’s theory of complexes formed in accordance with the mechanism of electron transfer from a donor molecule to an acceptor.
