    Electrical Conductivities of Shock-compressed Solutions of KI in Organic Solvents
    (Journal of the Chemical Society : Faraday Transaction - I. The Chemical Society, London. 1978, 74 (09-12), 1978) Hamann, Sefton D.; Linton, Max
    We have measured the electrical conductivities of solutions of KI in methanol, formamide, N-methylformamide (NMF), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and acetone, under compression by shock waves with pressures of the order of 10 GPa. The results indicate that acetone and NMF become more viscous in the shocked state and the DMF and DMSO become very much more so. The shock-wave conductivities of formamide, NMF, DMF and DMSO are consistent with static conductivities measured at much lower pressures. Transparency experiments showed no evidence of freezing in DMF and acetone at shock pressures between 1 and 10 GPa.

    Influence of Pressure on the Ionization of Substituted Phenols
    (Journal of the Chemical Society : Faraday Transaction - I. The Chemical Society, London. 1974, 70 (12), 1974) Hamann, Seffon D.; Linton, Max
    Spectroscopic measurements have been made of the ionization constants of eighteen substituted phenols in water at 25°C and at 1, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 bar. Ionization of the phenols is enhanced by an increase of pressure, and the derived values of the change in partial molar volume for ionization lie between –8 and –20 cm3 mol–1. The results are discussed in terms of the molecular structures of the phenols.
