Abstract: The probabilities of formation of ortho-and para-hydrogen are incorrectly formulated in the above paper. In particular, the validity of eqn (5.37) and (5.38) is limited: the yS and Sy terms cannot be treated separately. For example two H atoms after an initial encounter in a To state with nuclear wavefunction 2-"2(yS + Sy) may subsequently re-encounter as singlets with 2-1'2( $3 -S y ) with probability (cf. section 5)

“…With the concept of spin conservation in chemical reactions it follows that the (H,OH) pairs of each event in the scheme (15) are correlated singlet pairs and that (H,H), (H,OH) and (OH, OH) pairs of different events are statistically correlated pairs. The statistical weight of singlet and triplet pairs in the spur was studied by Magee and Huang [29] and also by Brocklehurst [30]. The dependence of the probability ratio of the triplet state to the singlet state aT/as in radical pairs on the number of pairs per spur is shown in Fig.…”
