Abstract

Extended-basis-set calculations including electron correlation have been carried out on the reactants, products, and saddle point of the gas-phase S_n2 reaction F^-(H₂O) + CH₃Cl and its deuterium substituted analogs. Transition state theory (TST) rate constants and secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) are calculated for both CD₃ and D₂O substitution, and the results are in excellent agreement with recent experiments.
