Abstract

IN Part I of this series (this vol., p. 305) a wide range of facts relating to the formation of carbon rings was briefly reviewed in the light of the hypothesis that the spatial configuration of four atoms attached to a central carbon atom is determined by their relative volumes, and it was shown that many of the more apparent defecfs of the Baeyer strain theory may easily be rectified by means of this simple assumption.
