Book Description

Initial work on the dependence of the nickel carbonylation rate on time, temperature and magnetic field has been completed and a manuscript describing this work in detail has been accepted for publication. Our current effort is in the study of the magnetic phase dependence of chemical activity (the Hedvall Effect). The nickel carbonylation reaction offers an ideal system for the study of this effect. One of the advantages of this system is the availability of Ni(1-x) Cu(x) alloys over the entire composition range 0
