Abstract

To explain the mechanism of certain thermal reactions in gaseous organic compounds, Prof. M. W. Travers assumes a series of transformations: molecules -> activated state -> complex -> unstable intermediates -> paired products, and states that the rate of reaction usually measured is determined by the transformation complex -> unstable intermediates. He discusses the thermal decomposition of ethane and of ethane-ethylene-hydrogen equilibrium mixtures, and refers to the thermal decomposition of acetaldehyde, methyl nitrite and methylamine.
