Abstract

In previous communications2 has been discussed our hypothesis of the nature of the carbon- to-carbon bond in organic compounds. The extension of our concept to the problem of the stability or instability of the carbon-to-nitrogen bond in compounds of the type R-NHz is possible without further subsidiary hypotheses. The treatment of the subject matter is particularly simplified if one bears in mind that the bonding electrons of both carbon and ...
