The electrical conductances over the temperature range 350 to 400 of the LiCl-KCl eutectic melt and solutions of NaCl, LiF, NaF, KF, Li/sub 2/TiF/sub 6/, Na/sub 2/TiF/sub 6/, and K/sub 2/TiF/sub 6/ in this melt are reported for the region of dilute concentrations of the solutes. A reduced total specific conductance is found on the addition of fluorides to the chloride eutectic. The decrease in totai conductance on the addition of the alkali titaaium fiuorides to the chloride melt is interpreted in light of the previous cryoscopic results as due to a primary dissociation with the formation of alkali fluoride and TiF/sub 4/ , the latter most probably existing as (TiF/sub 4/ Cl/sub 2/)/sup -2/ or some similar complex ion.
