Abstract
Modifications of an apparatus for the measurement of the dielectric constants of vapors are described. The apparatus has been used to determine the dielectric constants of the vapors of trimethylaluminum and dimethylaluminum chloride over a range of temperature and pressure, and methylaluminum dichloride has been measured in solution with another apparatus. The accurate calculation of the dipole moments of the molecules is prevented by strong molecular association. The data indicate a strong probability that the single trimethylaluminum molecule has a pyramidal structure and that the aluminum-carbon bond is predominantly covalent.
