The dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and density of compressed fluoromethane have been measured at 50°C and 75°C in the pressure range 20 to 160 atmospheres. The ratio (ε−1)/d(ε+2) shows a large and regular decrease as the density increases. The theories of Debye, Onsager, and Kirkwood have been applied to the results. Evidence of the restriction of molecular rotation at high densities is adduced.
