Abstract

The kinetic isotope effect kF + CH4 / kF + CD4 has been determined by reacting F atoms with mixtures of CH4 and CD4, using a discharge-flow-mass spectrometric technique. Experiments were carried out at four temperatures in the temperature range 183-298 K. The Arrhenius expression corresponding to the results is kF +CH4 / kF + CD4 = (0.99 ± 0.02) × exp [(100 ± 5) / T]. The present results are compared with previous published experimental and theoretical results.
