Isotope Effects

  • Reference work entry
Handbook of Nuclear Chemistry

Abstract

Isotope effects, that is, differences brought about by isotopic substitution in the physical and chemical properties of atoms and molecules, are reviewed from the point of view of spectroscopy, chemical equilibria, phase equilibria, physicochemical properties, reaction kinetics, and biology. The theory of isotope effects is discussed in some detail.
