Correct on both counts, but I've already done a lot of that searching and
finding, and I've managed to grok a fair amount.  Might as well pull you along
the learning curve with me.  :D

Nope.   If you read it again, it means that an oxide skin/film/crust forms, and
then metallic nickel has to diffuse through that to get oxidized on the surface
of that crust.



If it's published, it's already been paid for.  I had to do some backflips to
find copies of MY OWN research that got published through ACS.  What a scam to
the taxpayer.

That's messed up! Didn't you have a preprint version on hand? Or were you trying
to obtain a peer-reviewed version?

Well, y'know - it's a long story.

But I lost the digital copies I had, and hard copies of nearly everything were
gone too.

But thanks to the interwebs, I got around any of the stupid paywall sites and
got the paper (somewhere) and the supporting information.
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jo0207022

I even found out that it got referenced in Greene & Wuts.  :)

I have no idea about what this entails, frankly.  :-)
