7: Kinetic Isotope Effects

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 7.1: Kinetic Isotope Effects
    The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is a phenomenon associated with isotopically substituted molecules exhibiting different reaction rates. Isotope effects such as KIEs are invaluable tools in both physical and biological sciences and are used to aid in the understanding of reaction kinetics, mechanisms, and solvent effects.
