Symmetry arguments and abinitio s.c.f. calculations (double-zeta basis set) are used to show that the exchange reaction H2+ D2 → 2HD could proceed in a concerted fashion through a six-center transition state. The computed barrier height of 90 kcal/mol for this process lies below the experimental dissociation energy of H2 (but above the computed dissociation energy) and also below the energy required for exchange through a four-center transition state. Either the termolecular(2 + 2 + 2 ) or bimolecular(4 + 2 ) cycloadditions are thermally allowed. The presence of a transition metal would allow the reaction to proceed through a four-center geometry, leading to the formation of a possibly stable metal-H4 complex.

Primary kinetic isotope effects have been measured for the base-catalyzed exchange reaction of 4′,1″-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-dibenzcyclohepta-1,3-diene-6-one, 1. It was found that the isotope effects kH/kT and kD/kT for the faster exchanging protons (13.6 and 3.8 respectively) are significantly larger than the corresponding values for the slower exchanging protons (4.6 and 1.6 respectively). These differences could result from truly unequal isotope effects due to transition state differences or intrusion of a second pathway for exchange of the less reactive proton in the dedeuteration reaction. The data appear to support the latter interpretation. The secondary deuterium isotope effect was found to be 1.18.

HTO is not only a reactant, but also acts as the proton shuttle in the transition state.
