Abstract
The melting of monolayers of nine halomethanes and haloethanes physisorbed on exfoliated graphite is discussed on the basis of heat capacity and X-ray diffraction results. It is shown that the melting transition of incommensurate, triangular, orientationally disordered phase is continuous, whereas other two–dimensional solid phases melt discontinuously.
