In conclusion, among the questions of the chemical structure of the kerogen of combustible shales, one of the most important is that of the presence of multiple carbon-carbon bonds in the organic matter of these combustible minerals. In spite of a series of studies that have been performed this question has long remained open because of the contradictory opinions expressed. In the present paper, in order to evaluate the quantitative content of aliphatic bonds C-C in kerogen the authors analyze the results obtained by previous researchers in the study of the ozonization and chlorination of kuckersite, figures from balance experiments on chlorination, and the results of the use of ESR spectroscopy for these purposes and certain literature information on the halogenation of kuckersite kerogen. The presence in the kerogen of the Baltic combustible shale kuckersite of from 6 to 8 aliphatic double carbon-carbon bonds per 100 C atoms has been shown by the methods of chlorination, ozonization, and ESR spectroscopy, and this agrees with the figures calculated from certain results on the bromination of kuckersite. 18 refs.
