It has been shown that butene-1 undergoes isomerization to butene-2 on a nickel catalyst in the presence of hydrogen. B y using deuterium, this double-bond migration has been examined simultaneously with the exchange and hydrogenation reactions. The kinetics of double-bond migration and hydrogenation at 65° C were found to be identical, the rate of reaction in both cases being proportional to the square root of the butene pressure and to the square root of the hydrogen pressure. Energies of activation for the three reactions were measured over the temperature range 76-126° C and the following values found: Exchange 9.0 kcal. Hydrogenation 2.5 ,, Double-bond migration 5.9 ,, At the lowest temperatures, the rate of double-bond migration was about six times that of exchange. These facts are in agreement with the theory that the catalytic exchange between olefines and deuterium takes place through the formation of an associative complex. The rate-determining step in the double-bond migration is the second, fast step of the exchange reaction, viz.

The electron irradiation of silicate glasses containing metal cations produces various types of phase separation and decomposition which includes oxygen bubble formation at intermediate temperatures figure I. The kinetics of bubble formation are too rapid to be accounted for by oxygen diffusion but the behavior is consistent with a cation diffusion mechanism if the amount of oxygen in the bubble is not significantly different from that in the same volume of silicate glass. The formation of oxygen bubbles is often accompanied by precipitation of crystalline phases and/or amorphous phase decomposition in the regions between the bubbles and the detection of differences in oxygen concentration between the bubble and matrix by electron energy loss spectroscopy cannot be discerned (figure 2) even when the bubble occupies the majority of the foil depth.The oxygen bubbles are stable, even in the thin foils, months after irradiation and if van der Waals behavior of the interior gas is assumed an oxygen pressure of about 4000 atmospheres must be sustained for a 100 bubble if the surface tension with the glass matrix is to balance against it at intermediate temperatures.
