Abstract
Acetylene polymer or “cuprene” was prepared by electric discharge in an all‐glass, cylindrical ozonizer of usual construction. The solid polymer was found to react with the hydrogen halides to the following extent, expressed in moles of hydrogen halide per mole of acetylene: 0.154 ; 0.085 ; 0.000 HI. The hydrogen chloride product was black which changed on exposure to air to a deep brown. The hydrogen bromide product was not quite as black as the hydrogen chloride product; in air it did not change as markedly in color as did the product. No absorption of hydrogen iodide was found with the present means of our investigation.Keywords
