A. Stolarz et J. Szydlowski, KINETICS OF TRITIUM ISOTOPE-EXCHANGE BETWEEN LIQUID PYRROLE AND GASEOUS-HYDROGEN, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 185(2), 1994, pp. 219-226
The kinetics of tritium isotope exchange between liquid pyrrole and ga
seous hydrogen has been studied over the temperature range of 290-303
K. The reaction was carried out in the presence of platinum black but
in spite of that, it appeared to be relatively slow. The kinetics of t
he exchange reaction studied could be described by the simple McKay eq
uation, The results obtained suggest that diffusion is the rate-determ
ining step. A mechanism of exchange is proposed.
