Isotope effects in solution: contrasts between muonium and hydrogen in reactions with acetone
Keyword(s):
Munonium atoms are hydrogen isotopes with positive muons rather than protons, deuterons, or tritons as nuclei. Thus, they have one ninth the mass of 1H, and microsecond lifetimes. By using nuclear physics counting techniques, muonium can be studied in a wide variety of media and its chemical and physical properties used to appraise hydrogen. Results are described for the interaction of muonium with acetone, showing two types of kinetic isotope effects, formation of free radicals, evidence for intermolecular "muonium bonding", and micelle-induced enhancements of reaction rate constants. Keywords: isotope effects, muonium atoms, muonium bonding, thiyl radicals, micelles.
