Abstract
THE development of electronic theories of the mechanism of reactions has reached a stage at which it is possible to give useful general accounts of the main features, and there are indications of a rapidly growing interest in the subject. This interest has now deeply penetrated not only the ranks of teachers of chemistry who have a regard for major theoretical developments, but also the harder core of chemists in industrial and other fields who attach greater importance to tangible applications and concrete results.
