1 Testing a Mechanism: Kinetic Isotope Effects
Primary Isotope Effect - rate change due to isotopic substitution at a site of bond breaking or bond making in the rate determining step of a mechanism. Secondary Isotope Effect - rate change due to isotopic substitution at other than a site of bond breaking or bond making in the rate determining step of a mechanism.

2 Primary Kinetic Isotope Effect: Typical Values

3 Examples of Kinetic Isotope Effects

4 More Examples of Kinetic Isotope Effects
