Abstract
THIS volume contains the papers presented at the fiftieth discussion arranged by the Faraday Society, and, like the preceding ones, it serves a useful purpose in bringing together many lines of development of a subject. It is divided into three parts, dealing with general relations, intermediate addition compounds and chain reactions, and neutral salt and activity effects. There are about six papers in each section, and these are followed by a general discussion of all the sections. Prof. Lowry contributes a conclusion, in which the main points raised are summarised. The volume exhibits a diversity of opinion rather greater than usual in these discussions, and some space is taken up with claims for priority which are out of place in such a publication. The volume is one which will be found most useful by research workers and students. An account of the main issues raised was given in NATURE of Oct. 13, 1928, p. 589.
A General Discussion on Homogeneous Catalysis held in the Physical Chemistry Laboratory of the University qf Cambridge, on Friday and Saturday, 28th and 29th September 1928.
Pp. iii + 545–740. (London: The Faraday Society, 1929.) 12s. 6d.
