No ternary mixture of maximum boiling point has yet been discovered, but Lecat has pointed out a probable case of a quaternary mixture of minimum boiling point. Of the four liquids, methylal, methyl iodide, methyl alcohol and carbon disulphide, each of the six possible pairs and each of the four possible triplets form azeotropic mixtures of minimum boiling point, and Lecat considers it probable that a mixture of all four liquids boils at a slightly lower temperature than the most volatile of the ternaiy mixtures. The data are given below:-
