Abstract
DUCHESNE has criticized1, from a theoretical point of view, the use in our work2 of the fact that the Raman spectrum of a mixture of α-chloroacids consists of a superposition of the spectra of the constituents. He believes that the Raman spectra of the pure α-chloroacids which we reproduced include some characteristic features which he considers indicate association ; in these conditions, Duchesne writes, the additivity of the spectra for a mixture is an unjustifiable assumption.
