Abstract
Although chemical interest in oscillatory inorganic reactions [1] goes back more than sixty years to LOTKA (1910, 1920), MORGAN (1916) and BRAY (1921), its renaissance dates from the discovery [2] by ZHABOTINSKII (1964+) that “spatial periodicity” was a possibility. Hopes that there might be worthwhile implications for biochemistry (and biological systems generally) catalyzed and influenced the direction of subsequent developments. This meant that the subject grew up rapidly but unevenly, and with very imperfect contact with other disciplines where similar phenomena had been already studied extensively and deeply.
