880. FARKAS, A., AND FARKAS, L. Ortho-, Para- and Heavy Hydrogen. MacMillan Co., New York, 1935, 215 pp. In certain cases a relationship is known to exist between magnetic properties and catalytic activity. For example, the conversion of o- and p-hydrogen is catalyzed by paramagnetic ions, the rate of conversion increasing with increasing magnetic moment of the ions. The so-called magnetocatalytic effect is based on similar phenomena. FARKAS, L. See abs. 880. |
