 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  
t/°CConcentration c1 [mol dm**-3]
25.00.0140
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Constant temperature bath, rotator, thermometer, and an ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometer. Excess solute and solvent placed in amber glass bottles and allowed to equilibrate for several days at constant temperature. Attainment of equilibrium verified by repetitive measurements. Aliquots of saturated  solutions transferred through a coarse filter into tared volumetric flasks, weighed and diluted with methanol. Concentrations determined spectrophotometrically at 356 nm.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) 99.7+ %, Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, used as received.
   (2) 99+ %, Aldrich Chemical Company, was stored over molecular sieves to remove trace water.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: c1: ± 3 % (relative error; compiler).
   Temperature: T/K: ± 0.1 (compiler).
