Abstract
ON July 5–7, a symposium on Friedel–Crafts polymerization was held in the Chemical Laboratory, Trinity College, Dublin, under the chairmanship of Prof. M. G. Evans. Papers by Drs. F. S. Dainton, M. H. Dilke, D. D. Eley, A. G. Evans, S. D. Hamaen, G. W. Meadows, D. C. Pepper, F. T. Perkins, P. H. Plesch and A. W. Richards were discussion revealed the scarcity of quantitativ information in this field, but resulted in appreciable clarification of a number of obscure points. A clear picture of the reaction mechanisms emerged, which should be of value as a guide to future work.
