Explains in terms of transition-state theory and simple models for tunneling why isotopic molecules react at different rates and how to measure these differences in experiments. Critically surveys a wide range of the more important, reliable experimental results and conclusions, demonstrating how kinetic isotope effects can be interpreted to give information of mechanistic value. Contains numerous examples from organic chemistry that feature techniques which are also applicable to inorganic chemistry and biochemistry.
