  Paper on Theory of Anesthesia

  I suggest that we publish a detailed paper on the molecular interpretation of the narcotic partial pressures of anesthetic agents.

  The main point would be the discussion of the logarithm of narcotic partial pressure in relation to mole refraction and to size and shape of molecules. I think that the curve on the right of Figure 4 of my paper refers mainly to molecules that are spherical in shape. I believe that the curve should be a series of segments of curves, corresponding to the dodecahedron, the 14-hedron, and the 28-hedron, and perhaps a larger polyhedra that are nearly spherical.

  Molecules that are elongated would have trouble fitting into these polyhedra neatly, and their point should lie above these curves.

  I think that it would be worthwhile to calculate or measure, from models, the dimensions of the different molecules and to describe these molecules in terms of their eccentricities, as well as their molecular volumes and mole refractions. Then we could attempt to calculate the segments of theoretical curves, mentioned above - I have already begun this job. The rest of the job would involve collecting as extensive information as possible about narcotic activity of different substances.
