There is much evidence of an indirect nature, in the wide variation in reactivity of related organic compounds, which suggests that the nature of a chemical bond is greatly influenced by substitution, This would seem to conflict with the additivity rule of Bond Energies based on thermo chemical evidence, which assumes that the energy of a given kind of bond is a constant. The present work was begun with the object of clarifying this situation by observing the effect of substitution on organic bond strength as manifested in the rates of pyrolysis of a series of organic iodides.*R. A. Ogg and Ogg and Polanyi have studied the pyrolysis of a number of aliphatic iodides by static meth0ds. l Under their conditions the kinetics of the decomposition are rather complex, and we have come to the conclusion from our own work reported below, that the rate of the primary bond breaking process RI= R+ I cannot be deduced correctly from their results. Pyrolysis as a means of establishing bond energies was used by Rice and Johnston who measured the temperature coefficients of the rates of decomposition of several organic compounds and calculated the corresponding activation energies. They used a flow method in which the free radicals formed during the process were allowed to remove metallic mirrors. We used a similar arrangement for pyrolysing organic iodides, while measuring the rate of reaction by the amount of iodine (and in certain cases the hydrogen iodide) formed. The advantages of the flow method are twofold: by the accumulation of the product resulting from an extended period of flow it is possible to use
