Abstract
IN connexion with an investigation of the slow time reactions in the chromic thiocyanate system in aqueous solution, one of us (J. B.) had the idea that it might be possible to estimate the energies of activation in ‘instantaneous’ complex ion reactions by investigating the reactions in alcoholic solutions at low temperatures. These expectations have been to a great extent fulfilled.
