Hydrogen isotope effects are influenced by adsorbate coverage: at high coverages, isotope effects are lower than at low coverages. This helps to rationalize observed isotope effects, allowing more precise elucidation of reaction mechanisms.

Basic Strength

Rate constants in aqueous solutions are reported for proton and deuteron abstraction by a variety of bases from tricarbomethoxymethane, the propan-2-one-1-sulphonate ion, 2-acetylcyclohexanone and ethyl nitroacetate. The rates of ionization were measured by using bromine or iodine as scavengers to remove the anions, and, for ethyl nitroacetate by direct observation of the rate of appearance of the anion. The kinetic isotope effects vary from k H / k D = 2.5 to k H / k D = 10.3, and confirm the regularities previously found (Bell & Crooks 1965; Bell & Goodall 1966). In particular, the results for the reaction of ethyl nitro-acetate with nine bases show clearly that with increasing basic strength the isotope effect passes through a well-marked maximum. Sterically hindered pyridine bases give rise to abnormally high isotope effects, probably attributable to increased tunnel corrections.
