Summary
Kinetic Isotope Effects
(KIEs) refer to the
Change in reaction rate
caused by the
Substitution of an atom
in the reactants with one of its isotopes, often providing
Insights into reaction mechanisms
. KIEs are particularly significant in
Reactions involving hydrogen
and its isotopes, as the
Differences in mass
lead to measurable changes in
Bond vibrational frequencies
and thus
Reaction Kinetics
.
