A compound consisting of an element or radicle united directly with chlorin in the proportion of one atom and a half of the latter to a certain definite quantity of the former assumed as the unit of comparison. Analogous compounds of bromin, hydroxyl, oxygen, and sulphur are called respectively the sesquibromid, sesquihydroxid, sesquioxid, and sesquisulphid. The term s., etc., however, are often used where trichlorid, etc., would be more proper.
