Abstract
The inhibiting effect of nitric oxide on the thermal decomposition of certain organic compounds has been attributed to the ability of this substance to suppress reaction chains by removing free radicals from the system (Staveley and Hinshelwood 1936
a, b, c
; 1937). The inhibition has been observed with various ethers and with propionic and butyric aldehydes, but the decompositions of acetaldehyde, chloral, methyl alcohol and ketones are exempt. It has been inferred that in these latter reactions either free radicals are not produced, or else that they are incapable of effecting the further decomposition of their parent substance. The thermal decomposition of ethane has been found to be considerably retarded by nitric oxide, and in view of the comparative simplicity of the ethane molecule it seemed profitable to examine the inhibited reaction in some detail.
