The structural changes which occur in olefinic substances when they undergo oxidation by molecular oxygen have never been elucidated, although many of these changes, such as the autoöxidation of drying oils and of rubber, are of enormous practical importance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
