Vinyl iodide solutions, which were kept in the dark and in the absence of oxygen, were irradiated at room temperature. Methylene chloride, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride were chosen as solvents in order to protect the polymerization to a certain extent from the inhibiting action of iodine produced by monomer decomposition. Under these conditions the irradiation of dilute solutions of vinyl iodide led to the formation of polymer, although the yield was poor. Some properties of the polymer are given along with discussion on the infrared spectrum. (P.C.H.)
