Abstract
The kinetic data of the thermal decomposition reaction of trans-3,3-dimethy l-5,6-tetramethylene-1,2,4-triaxacyclohexane has been measured in different solvents (benzene, toluene, 2-propanol, 2-methoxyethanol, and p-dioxane) a t 0.02 mol kg(-1) initial concentration and in the temperature range of 135 .0-165.0 degrees C. The enthalpy and entropy of activation of the unimolecu lar reaction of this trioxane in several organic solvents have been correla ted through "isokinetic relationships" to validate the existence of a genui ne solvent effect on that reaction.
