Abstract

The theoretical models for the treatment of the kinetic isotope effect of proton-transfer reactions (tunneling, Marcus and quantum-statistical mechanical model) are described. Scope and limits of these models are discussed with respect to intermolecular interaction, free energy relations, temperature, solvent and pressure dependence, and ultrafast protontransfer.
