Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A transition-state force field for SN2 bromine-exchange reactions with a series of alkyl bromides has been developed and checked by calculation of 14C primary and (mostly) 2H secondary hydrogen isotope effects for these reactions in reasonable agreement with experimental values for related reactions.
