Arnett

Since its inception, the institute, in addition to its regular faculty members, has always had a number of outstanding scientists associated with it as fellows or adjunct facnlty. These include, among others, Ned Arnett, Joe Casanova, Paul Schleyer, Jean Sommer, Gabor Somorjai, Peter Stang, Michael Szwarc (who just recently passed away), Ken Wade, and Bob Williams. They greatly contribnte to onr scientific work by their visits and participation in our symposia and freqnently throngh close research cooperation. Because they are also close friends. 

Additional significant experimental studies were also carried out by others. Arnett reported valuable calorimetric studies. Saunders showed the absence of the deuterium isotopic perturbation of eqnilibrium ex-...

Use these data to evaluate the cluster of constants (fk /kj) temperature. Evaluate kp/kj using Arnett s finding that f = 1.0 and assuming the k value determined in Example 6.1 for AIBN at 11°C in xylene also applies in benzene.
