Abstract
The historic background, 1750–1950, of pyrolysis is sketched. At the end of this period the role of pressure, temperature and reaction vessel surface had been clarified. The use of a standard Stark-modulated microwave spectrometer (18–40 GHz) as the detector for polar products of pyrolysis at 0.001–0.01 mm Hg is described and examples given. The gap between theories for calculation of reaction rate constants and experimental results obtained by closed-vessel pyrolysis is still too large, presently leaving us with the production of new species as the most worthwhile results.
