  • The experimental results of Waring and Morton on the thermal decomposition of tin tetramethyl have been re-examined and shown to fit in better with a three-halves order rate constant and a free radical kinetic mechanism than with a unimolecular rate constant and a molecular rearrangement mechanism put forward by the authors. Also, the results of Helm and Mack on the thermal decomposi­tion of silicon tetramethvl in the low pressure region. not amenable to first or second order kinetic expressions, have satisfactorily been interpreted terms of three-halve; order reaction involving a free radical mechanism.
