Popis: | KA2 = exp[(-29 & 1 J mol-I K-')/R] expt(5.7 f 0.3 kJ mol-')/RT] L mol-l, 170 K < T < 254 K For the tautomerism in the cyclic dimer the following isotopic rate constants were obtained: kAIHH = 109,9'0.3 exp[(-18.9 f 0.3 kl mol-')/RT] S-'; kAIHD = 10'0~7M0.3 exp[(-26.7 f 0.3 kJ mOl-')/RT] S-'; kA2DD = 10i',5M.3 eXp[(-33.4 f 0.3 kJ mol- )/ s-,, 164.2 K < T < 260.9 K; with the kinetic isotope effects of kA2HH/kA,HD = 23 * 4, kA2HD/kA,DD = 10 f 2, kAFd/kE2 = 237 f 20 at 189.2 K. The Arrhenius curves of all isotopic reactions could be simulated in terms of a concerted proton transfer that proceeds by thermally activated tunneling at low temperatures. This result is in contrast to previous findings for intramolecular degenerate double proton transfer reactions where stepwise reaction pathways have been established. With a three-dimensional model potential surface it is shown, however, that the difference between the concerted and the stepwise reaction pathway disappears when the hydrogen bond length is decreased during the course of the reaction. It follows that the observed kinetic isotope effects are in agreement with both a concerted or a stepwise reaction pathway in a compressed |
