C. Podina et al., Radiation-induced isotopic exchange between 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene and sodium iodide in ethanol, REV RO CHIM, 43(8), 1998, pp. 719-723
The isotopic exchange between 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene and sodium iodide label
led;with I-131 induced by UV-radiation, has been investigated in ethanol as
solvent. The kinetic measurements have been made at different concentratio
ns of the exchange partners. The rate law was obtained and verified over a
wide concentration range. This rate law is not in agreement with a simple n
ucleophilic mechanism and indicates an intricate mechanism involving the ex
citation of the molecules of the exchange partners.
