The Difference Between Initiation and Induction Phenomena

Using experimentally obtained values of rCH and D [8], the appropriate kinetic calculations were carried out. Therefore, equation (2.21) adequately describes the kinetics of interfering reaction (2.20). 

the determinant equation was found useful for the analysis of the kinetics of complex reactions in that it made simpler the kinetic calculations at determination of the kinetic model of interrelated and synchronized reactions proceeding in the reaction mixture and also the qualitative and quantitative assessment of chemical interference itself. 

Note also that some authors [11-14] have had to use all their inventiveness in order to impart high experimental demonstrativeness to chemical interference. 

Since no clear distinction between initiation and induction of chemical reactions is made in the scientific literature, and very often one event is taken for another, we will discuss this question in more detail. 

Active sites are generated both in initiation reactions and by chemical induction, and this situation is common to all types of initiated and conjugated reactions. The main difference is related to the effect of these active sites on the target reaction (in the case of chemical induction, this is the secondary reaction). Only one aspect—generation of active sites—is very often considered. On this basis many authors make their own conclusions.
