On the Spatial Arrangement of Atoms in Nitrogen-Containing Molecules (Received December 90, 1889; communicated in the session by Herr A . Pinner)

Those cases of isomerism which cannot be explained by structural theory are now, as is well known, almost universally attributed to the differences in the spatial arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. Such compounds are thus regarded as geometric or stereochemical isomers in accordance vith van't Hoff and Wislicenus' views. I t is superfluous to discuss here in detail this generally known and almost generally accept,ed hypothesis, especially since its three fundamental principles have already been stated in these Rerichte by IC=C
