Abstracts

EN

Kinetics of processes, in which the reaction rate increases with conversion, is discussed and illustrated with an example of the chemical reaction of isomerization of an azobenzene derivative in a liquid crystalline matrix. A simple phenomenological model is put forward explaining the effect by dynamic changes of interactions between the reacting species and the matrix.
