Kinetic Isotope

Isotopic vibrational frequencies and the corresponding partition-function ratios for several compounds containing Ge70 and Ge76 have been calculated at various temperatures. The theoretical equilibrium constants for germanium isotope-exchange reactions derived from these partition-function ratios indicate that noticeable germanium isotope fractionation might be effected with laboratory reactions. Calculated kinetic isotope effects in the breaking of diatomic bonds also predict observable alterations of the Ge70/Ge76 ratio.A kinetic isotope effect of 1.0% observed in the chemical reduction of GeO2 to GeO is discussed.

Using "normal vibration equations" and statistical mechanics, the isotopic vibrational frequencies and the partition function ratios for various Se76- and Se82-containing compounds have been calculated. The equilibrium constants for selenium isotope exchange reactions derived from these partition function ratios indicate that noticeable fractionation of selenium isotopes can be expected in the laboratory and in naturally occurring processes.The Se82/Se76 ratios for 16 natural samples have been compared mass spectrometrically. Variations of up to 1.5% found in this ratio are discussed.A kinetic isotope effect of 1.5% found in a chemical reduction of selenite ion to elemental selenium is also discussed.

Sulfur isotope effects in the exchange systems (1) [Formula: see text] and (2) [Formula: see text] have been studied at various temperatures. It has been shown that in the presence of water vapor sulfur isotope exchange proceeds at an appreciable rate in (1) above 150 °C and in (2) above 300 °C.The isotopic exchange constant for (1) approaches unity in the temperature range from 200 to 400 °C and the exchange constants for (2) at 400 °C and 450 °C equal 1.0095 and 1.0090 respectively favoring 34S in the SO2.The kinetic isotope effect in the chemical reduction of SO2 to S0 in consequence of its interaction with H2S has been determined at 25 °C, 200 °C, and 280 °C. At these temperatures the 32SO2 molecules react 1.6% faster than the 34SO2 molecules.It is concluded that the spread in isotopic composition of various forms of sulfur in volcanic gases is caused not only by isotope exchange reactions between oxidized and reduced forms of sulfur but also by kinetic isotope effects in unidirectional reactions which result from major temperature changes at the outflow.

Intramolecular Forces

The secondary β-deuterium isotope effects have been measured in the water solvolytic reaction of alkyl halides and sulphonates for primary, secondary, and tertiary species. In every case the kinetic isotope effect was greater than unity (kH/kD > 1). This isotope effect may be associated with varying degrees of hyperconjugation or altered non-bonding intramolecular forces. The experiments make it difficult to decide which effect is most important.

A series of specifically deuterated syn-7-chloro-, anti-7-chloro-, syn-7-bromo-, and anti-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylates have been prepared and solvolyzed in NaOAc-buffered 80:20 EtOH–H2O. For solvolysis at 25 °C the γ-kinetic isotope effects (KIE's) for syn-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (1e), anti-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (2c), syn-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (1f), anti-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (2d), syn-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-exo,exo-5,6-d2 (1g), anti-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-exo,exo-5,6-d2 (2e) are 1.125 ± 0.007, 1.128 ± 0.005, 1.063 ± 0.008, 1.149 ± 0.020, 1.119 ± 0.011, and 1.115 ± 0.013, respectively. There is no detectable γ-kinetic isotope effect for solvolysis of anti-7-chloro-endo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d(3a) and the β-KIE for anti-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-exo-3-d(4a) is 1.111 ± 0.011. From a consideration of the possible sources of the unusually large secondary KIE's, we conclude that the exo-6-d and endo-6-d γ-KIE's likely are derived from a combination of effects rather than from participation of the C1—C6 bond in the ionization step.

AbstractLaboratory experiments have shown that thermal gradients in silicate melts can lead to isotopic fractionation; this is known as the Richter effect. However, it is perplexing that the Richter effect has not been documented in natural samples as thermal gradients commonly exist within natural igneous systems. To resolve this discrepancy, theoretical analysis and calculations were undertaken. We found that the Richter effect, commonly seen in experiments with wholly molten silicates, cannot be applied to natural systems because natural igneous samples are more likely to be formed out of partially molten magma and the presence of minerals adds complexity to the behaviour of the isotope. In this study, we consider two related diffusion-rate kinetic isotope effects that originate from chemical diffusion, which are absent from experiments with wholly molten samples. We performed detailed calculations for magnesium isotopes, and the results indicated that the Richter effect for magnesium isotopes is buffered by kinetic isotope effects and the total value of magnesium isotope fractionation can be zero or even undetectable. Our study provides a new understanding of isotopic behaviour during the processes of cooling and solidification in natural magmatic systems.

The Reaction of Hydrogen Atoms with Silane; Arrhenius Parameters and Kinetic Isotope Effect Relative rate constants were measured for the systems H + C2H4/SiD4 and D + C2D4/SiH4 over a wide temperature range. From the known arrheniusparameter for the reaction H + C2H4 the activation energy EA and the preexponential factor A of the abstraction reactionH + SiD4 → HD + SiD3may be calculated. Values of EA = 3.2 kcal/Mol and A = 4.92 • 1013 cm3 Mol-1 sec-1 were obtained. Upper limits for the kinetic isotope effects are given in the paper

The transition state for the hydronium-ion-promoted hydrolysis of α-d-glucopyranosyl fluoride in water has been characterized by combining multiple kinetic isotope effect measurements with theoretical modelling. The measured kinetic isotope effects for the C1-deuterium, C2-deuterium, C5-deuterium, anomeric carbon-13, and ring oxygen-18 are 1.219 ± 0.021, 1.099 ± 0.024, 0.976 ± 0.014, 1.014 ± 0.005, and 0.991 ± 0.013, respectively. The transition state for the hydronium ion reaction is late with respect to both C–F bond cleavage and proton transfer.

Stratagems are presented for the determination of kinetic isotope effects of proton exchange reactions by dynamic NMR spectroscopy. In such experiments, lineshape analyses and/or polarization transfer experiments are performed on the exchanging protons or deuterons as well as on remote spins, as a function of the deuterium fraction in the mobile proton sites. These methods are NMR analogs of previous proton inventory techniques involving classical kinetic methods. A theory is developed in order to derive the kinetic isotope effects as well as the number of transferred protons from the experimental NMR spectra. The technique is then applied to the problem of proton exchange in the system 15N,15N′-di-p-fluorophenylibrmamidine, a nitrogen analog of formic acid, dissolved in tetrahydrofuran-d8 (THF). DFFA forms two conformers in THF to which s-trans and s-cis structures have been assigned. Only the s-trans conformer is able to dimerize and exchange protons. Lineshape simulations and magnetization transfer experiments were carried out at 189,2 K, at a concentration of 0.02 mol l-1, as a function of the deuterium fraction D in the 1H-15N sites. Using 1H NMR spectroscopy, a linear dependence of the inverse proton lifetimes on D was observed. From this it was concluded that two protons are transported in the rate limiting step of the proton exchange. This result is expected for a double proton transfer in an s-trans dimer with a cyclic structure. The full kinetic HH/HD/DD isotope effects of 233:11:1 at 189 K were determined through 19F NMR experiments on the same samples. The deviation from the rule of geometric mean, although substantial, is much smaller than found in previous studies of intramolecular HH transfer reactions. Possible causes of this effect are discussed.
