Abstract A study was performed to investigate the transfer of organic compounds and water from an aqueous solution to the gas phase under the action of a direct current discharge, in which an aqueous solution that contains organic compounds plays the role of a cathode. The effect of the area of the free surface of a liquid in various reactors, as well as the effect of the stirring mode of a solution near the surface of a liquid on the rate of transfer of water and organic compounds under the action of a discharge of this type, have been investigated. It is shown that a change in the area of the free surface of a liquid has no significant effect on the rate of transfer of water and organic compounds from solution to the gas phase under the action of a direct current discharge with a liquid cathode. It is shown that the stirring mode and the temperature of the solution, on the contrary, have a very significant effect on the rate of nonequilibrium transfer of both water and organic compounds from solution to the gas phase under the action of a discharge with a liquid cathode.

The secondary structure content of proteins and their complexes may change significantly on passing from aqueous solution to the gas phase (as in mass spectrometry experiments).

Shifts of harmonic frequencies suffice to explain isotope effects, but it does not follow that vibrational anharmonicity can be neglected.

We reject Halevi's interpretation and reaffirm our conclusion that secondary deuterium isotope effects on acidity are due to n–σ* delocalization.

The kinetic deuterium isotope effect in the reaction of methyl iodide with thiosulfate ion in aqueous solution has been determined as follows: kH/kD (per 3D) = 0.966 (+0.02°), 0.968 (+10.00°), 0.970 (+19.98°). Kinetic experiments have been carried out in reaction vessels with no gas phase. The experimental data are compared with results of model calculations of isotope effects from force constants. Excellent agreement between experimental and calculated isotope effects may be obtained with the following values of the transition state bending force constants: fHCI = 0.295 mdyn Å, fHCS = 0.300 to 0.320 mdyn Å. These values are equal to 50–65% of the corresponding bending force constants in stable molecules.
