Abstract
The theories of the ways in which a magnetic field can affect a chemical reaction are outlined. In Section (1) the range of observations and the general approach is outlined. In Section (2) the problem is cut down to its simplest form, and the 1-dimensional reaction is built into the model. Coherent and incoherent processes are distinguished. In Section (3) the 3-dimensional model system is treated and explicit expressions derived for the field effects.
