Referee's report by Alfred Fowler, on three papers 'The structure and activation of the phosgene molecule. Part I.—General introduction—Predissociation of molecules', 'The structure and activation of the phosgene molecule. Part II.—The Raman spectrum of phosgene' and 'The structure and activation of the phosgene molecule. Part III.—A study of the ultra-violet absorption spectrum of phosgene vapour' by Vector Henri and Owen Rhys Howell

Reference number: RR/38/68

Date: 02 December 1929
