Chlorine can be made to disproportionate to chlorine monofluoride and chloride, taking advantage of Le Chatelier's principle in several different ways. It will disproportionate to form insoluble silver chloride and chlorine monofluoride when silver fluoride is present. It will disproportionate in a melt of alkali metal fluorides to form alkali metal chlorides and chlorine monofluoride. The alkali metal chlorides will react with hydrogen fluoride to regenerate the metal fluorides and hydrogen chloride. Chlorine will also disproportionate in hydrogen fluoride containing antimony pentafluoride to yield antimony pentafluoride adducts of chlorine monofluoride and of hydrogen chloride. These adducts are readily decomposed to yield the disproportionation products and the original antimony pentafluoride. Keywords: hydrogen fluoride, disproportionation, chlorine, waterlike, solvent system.

The standard electrode potentials for the formation of the pure solid and molten compounds Li2ZrCl6, Li2HfCl6, Na2ZrCl6, Na2HfCl6, K2ZrCl6, K2HfCl6, Cs2ZrCl6, and Cs2HfCl6 have been calculated from measured vapour pressures corresponding to their thermal decomposition at equilibrium and from available thermochemical data. Reversible potentials for the formation of Na2ZrCl6 and of K2ZrCl6 in solution according to the reaction[Formula: see text]where A is Na or K, have been calculated from available equilibrium vapour pressures as functions of the mole fractions of the alkali hexachlorocompounds. Standard potentials for the above reaction and "formal" potentials are also given. The latter are useful in predicting the electrochemical behaviour of dilute solutions of the hexachlorozirconates in alkali metal chlorides.
