Abstract
IN an earlier paper on this topic1 we proposed a four-parameter equation (1), which expresses the quantitative relationship between the structure of p-disubstituted derivatives of benzene and the magnitude of their biological activity, for example intravenous LD50. This report presents our results on a group of compounds of the type NO2, NH2. The series includes all possible combinations of groups X and Y, with the exception of three substances which were not soluble enough even in 20 per cent aqueous polyvinylpyrrolidone solution to make LD50 measurements possible. The experimental results fitted equation
