10"6 and 1.4 X 10-4 M. None of these runs gave good first-order or second-order plots, and we therefore obtained the order of the reaction in naphthalene by analyzing the initial rates ( ) as shown in Figure 2. By this method the order in napthalene was determined to be 1.5. This surprising result was verified by reexamination of the full kinetic runs, which were found to fit plots for a reaction 1.5 order in naphthalene. These results are in contrast to those of Ridd and Co-workers,4 who found N(EI)-catalyzed nitration of N^V-dimethylaniline to be first order in the aromatic. This finding is moreover obviously not in accord (7)
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.
