Abstract

A brief account of the life of Matthew Carey Lea and his work on mechanochem. is presented. The importance of his mechanochem. expts. are examd. by exploring how his ideas developed from observing the pressure sensitivity of photog. plates to the systematic investigations on the mechanochem. decompn. of compds. 26 yr later.
