Coventgardener - something you stick and something you send are both correct. Both can follow 102 in Chambers.

All done, but I have several parsing issues.

82a - can’t make any real sense of this.
1d - Biblical heroine, presumably. But I don’t think ‘radical’ really works as a definition here, from a chemistry perspective.
2d - surely this should be 1/10, not 1/12? Is this just an error?

Quiz, 1/12 works fine - it's a date! Read backwards in the answer you get ??? ?, 1/12 in another form.

Ah, thank you, Malone - I latched on to ‘deci’ as 1/10 and didn’t look for anything else.

Anyone shed any light on ‘Petrol has touch of acid as catalyst (7)’, please?

Thanks, Quiz. I can't help with 82 A, but think 1 D looks ok. I have no chemistry knowledge, but the answer appears, under 'radical' in Bradford's Crossword Dictionary.

regent is a type of petrol...then add the a(acid)

Thanks, Bunty - need to Google petrol companies that haven’t existed for over half a century in Doc’s offerings, as well as relying on Chambers!

Ask not convinced that a catalyst is well described as a ‘reagent’. Some very dodgy chemistry in this one, but a nice puzzle all in all.
