The hypersonic speed and dynamic isentropic compressibility of pure pyridazine (1,2-diazine) were measured from 262.6 to 363.4 K using Brillouin light scattering in the 5.8 to 7.5 GHz frequency region. The results are given in table 1. The details of the experimental arrangement and the numerical methods employed have been given.“’ The hypersonic speed u was calculated from the measured Brillouin splitting 1’ using M = ‘rev/q,
(1)
where q is the magnitude of the scattering wavevector, given by q =
(47cn/EJ sin (e/2),
(2)
where n is the refractive index, 1 is the wavelength of the incident light, and 8 is the scattering angle. The dynamic isentropic compressibility K~ was calculated using j$--= u- zp-‘,

where p is the density. For our measurement 8 was 7r/2. Analysis of the results required the temperature dependenceof the density and refractive index; values were taken from the literature and extrapolated to the experimental temperatures.‘2’ The temperature dependence of the density is given by p/(g *cmm3)= -5.94 x 10P”(T/K)+ 1.282, and the temperature dependence of the index of refraction by n = 3.79 x lo-“(T/K)+ 1.4108.The calculated values for the hypersonic speed are accurate to a maximum error of 2 per cent. The measurementswere made as part of a study of hypersonic speed in nitrogen bases.“, 3, A dispersion in the hypersonic speed was not observed in 1,2-diazine. REFERENCES 1. Jain, V.
