Since efforts to explain the struc ture of molecular compounds by the different theories of valence have met with only partial syccess, a series of investigations is being carried out in the Chemistry Labo ratories of the University of Tennessee in an effort to formulate a theory by which the structure and properties ot this interesting but perplexing type of compound may be explained. The object of this investigation of the molecular organic compounds of the o- and p-aminobenzoic acids is to add to the data which is being collected in this labora tory with the hope that a sufficient amount of information will lead to a conclusive explanation of the linkage between the components of molecular compounds. It is also thought that by determining the additive nature of o-aminobenzoic acid it will be possible to pre dict the possibility of a chelate ring structure which is characteristic of a large number of ortho disubstituted 2. benzene derivatives. The procedure being followed in th is inve stigation is much th e same as that of precedi ng investigations wh ich have be en carried out in th is laboratory on molecular or ganic compounds. The general procedure may be outlined as follows: 1. To make a survey of all available literature and collect data on all mo lecular organic compounds of th e o and p-am inobenzoic acids whi ch have been prepared by other investigators. 2. To prepare mo lecular compounds of th e o- and p aminobenzoic acids with a number of amines, phenols , and hydrocarbons . 3. To determine the melting points , color, and neutral equivalents of th e compounds prepared and check them �gainst th ose found in th e lite rature . 4. To determine by an�lysis th e mo lecular ratios existing in th e compounds prepare d. 5. To consider th e structure of th ese compounds and try to explain th e nature of the linkage exi s ting between th e components . Chapter II HISTORICAL PART1 A number or molecular organi c compounds of o- and p aminobenzoic acid have been obtained by different inves tigators bu t no evidence was found in the literature searched of a thorough investigation of these compounds . 2 In 1908 Pawlewski obtained a mole cular compound of o-aminobenzoic acid with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde by grinding the two components together and moistening
