Solvent Isotope Effects

  • Chapter
Proton-Transfer Reactions

Abstract

The substitution of D for H is an elegant probe to use in the elucidation of chemical dynamics, and in particular the solvent isotope effect is a powerful technique for investigating the role of the solvent. This will be the main theme of this chapter. When H2O is replaced by D2O it is inevitable that we are dealing with the effects of substitution at many different sites. The effects of these many substitutions are described by fractionation factor theory [1] and, because many sites are involved, more information can be found if measurements are made in equimolar mixtures of H2O and D2O as well as in pure H2O and in pure D2O. In 1969 Gold reviewed this particular topic [2]. In this chapter the discussion will be extended and a simple technique for analysing the data obtained in H2O/D2O mixtures will be presented. It is the author’s hope that, in addition to the complete substitution of H2O with D2O, greater use will be made of the 50:50 mixture, which we shall call HDO.
