Interaction of magnesium, potassium, barium, and strontium chlorides with epsilon-caprolactam

Compounds of magnesium, potassium, barium, and strontium chlorides with epsilon -caprolactam were prepared and studied by chemical and crystal-optical analyses, X-ray powder diffraction, and thermogravimetry. All of the compounds obtained were single-phase and crystallized in the monoclinic system. The final products of their thermolysis were MgO, CaCl2, SrCl2, and BaCl2, respectively.
