Abstract
ON the assumption that the racemization of a 2: 2': 6-trisubstituted diphenyl (I) involves the rotation of the two benzene rings relative to one another about the bond joining them as axis, the rate of racemization must depend on the ease with which the substituents A and D or B and D (depending on whether A or B is the smaller) can pass one another.
