The object of the work described was to discriminate between the two principal rival theorics concerning the polymerisat ion of 1.3-dioxacycloalkanes by anhydrous pcrchloric acid, the "Mainz theory" and the "Keele theory". By means of Jucrck.s's method for determining tertiary oxonium ions we found

β¦ Synopsis
The different types of cations, anions, and other species likely to be involved in the cationoid polymerisations of alkenes are discussed, with special reference to their relative abundance under different conditions.
In the context of this celebration which is dedicated to a distinguished radical monger, it may be useful to outline the intellectual plight of the cation mongers who are concerned with the polymerisations of alkenes. The essential features of radical chemistry seem to be determined principally by the relative strengths of chemical bonds and the activation energies of their rupture, with electrostatic effects, especially solvation energies, playing at most a secondary role.
