A microhydrogenation technique, developed for and employed in sulfur compound identification studies, now has been successfully applied to halogen compounds. By means of catalytic hydrogenation this technique quantitatively removes the halogen atom or atoms from the molecule, leaving a paraffin or cycloparaffin. The identification of the hydrocarbon will characterize or aid in the characterization of the halogen precursor, the identification of which would otherwise be difficult or impossible because of the limited catalog of pure halogen compounds and of reference spectra. The method is rapid and quantitative, and will handle samples as small as 0.0002 ml.
