 1419.    HILL, D. G., AND KISTIAKOWSKY, G. B.  Hydrogenation Over Metallic Cesium.  Jour. Am. Chem. Soc., vol. 52, 1930, pp. 892-894; Chem. Abs., vol. 24, 1930, p. 2663.

       Catalytic combination of H₂ with C₂H₄ or CO but not with N₂ occurs appreciably over metallic Cs at room temperature, though much more rapidly at 200°.  The rate of combination is much retarded by the gradual formation of cesium hydride.
