Abstract
The decrease in pyridine-soluble material observed after soaking coals in s olvents is examined. It is demonstrated that this is due to an increase in cross-linking associated with the formation of ionic domains or clusters, s imilar to those observed in a class of synthetic polymers known as ionomers .
