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.

The oxidation of cyclohexanol by ferricyanide in alkaline aqueous solution is catalysed by micromolar concentrations of K3RuCl6. The rate law at 25.0�C in pH 11.9 phosphate buffer containing 0.50 M NaCl is -d[FeIII]/dt = [Ru](2klk2[alcohol][FeIII])/(2kl[alcohol] + k2[FeIII]) with kl 12 � 2 mol-1 1. s-1 and k2 (2.5 � 0.2) × 102 mol-1 1. s-1. A deuterium isotope effect of about 4 is observed when (D12)cyclohexanol is used. A mechanism consistent with these observations involves reduction of the RuIII catalyst by hydride transfer from the alcohol followed by reoxidation by ferricyanide to the original RulIII state.
