Abstract: By detg. the polymerization velocity at changing concns. of trichloroethylene in pentachloroethane (I) (0.3-2.5 mol./kg.) at 70.3, 80.1, and 90.3° and by comparing the velocity consts. of the initiation and the unimol. decompn. of Bz₂O₂, it was found that the velocity of the polymerization increases directly in the relation with the concn. of the monomer. The velocity of the initiation is detd. exclusively by the spontaneous decompn. of the initiator. At a monomer concn. of 1.5 mol./kg. and at 80.3° there is a square-root relation of the polymerization velocity to the concn. of Bz₂O₂. It was assumed that at the initiation reaction there is a participation of I.
