Abstract
Low-melting salts, i.e., those melting between 100 and 250 °C but are highly ionic are dealt with here. These include many inorganic salts as well as symmetrical quaternary ammonium and phosphonium salts, the properties of which as liquids are tabulated and discussed. Salt hydrates, whether melting congruently or not, form another category of low-melting salts, the properties of which are dealt with here.
