Abstract
The positive column of a low-pressure discharge is investigated in organic substances that form macromolecules. The method by which such macromolecules are formed is studied and the method for verifying them in a discharge space is described. It is proved that in the discharge space these macromolecules form negative ions. The irreversibility of the volt-ampere characteristic was found for a low-pressure discharge in organic gases and vapours. Standing striations were found in the positive column of such a discharge, some being conical and others, as a consequence of radial space charges, special plate-like striations.
