A technique is described for maintaining thiol solutions in their reduced form by the addition of tributylphosphine which can subsequently be removed by extracting with sulfur in chloroform. Aqueous solutions of thiols are rapidly oxidized by air during storage, and hence standard solutions of reag

β¦ Synopsis
Oxygen uptake of 3 low molecular weight ethylene-propylene terpolymers (EPDM) and their respective bicyclic diolefin termonomers (dicyclopentadiene, ethylidene norbornene and methyl endomethylene hexahydronaphthalene) has been measured at ~< 70 Β°.
From the kinetic behaviour and from the activation energy, it has been concluded that ethylidene norbornene reacts differently from the other two monomers; its autoxidation is much slower. In all cases, conversion is not very high due to formation of an unidentified inhibitor.

## Abstract The reaction of NO with O~2~ has been investigated in aqueous solution. As demonstrated by ion chromatography, the sole product is NO~2~^β^. Kinetic studies of the reaction by stoppedβflow methods with absorbance and conductivity detection are in agreement that the rate law is βd[O~2~]/
