Following empirical formula was utilized: Log T_n=(0.5145-0.00122n) log N+P+1.303, where T is the boiling point in °K at 760 mm., n is the number of C atoms, and P is the weight % of C in the molecule. Tabular data were presented, which indicated that the results were accurate to 1°-3° for molecules containing 1-19 C atoms.
