Abstract
IN a recent communication1, Graddon interpreted the formation of an addition compound between copper complexes such as cupric acetylacetonate and pyridine or other bases as due to formation of a 5 co-ordination complex of the copper atom. This is not the only possible interpretation, nor the most probable one.
