We highlight a convenient synthesis to selectively deuterate an aryl C–H hydrogen bond donor in a supramolecular anion receptor and use competitive titrations to study the deuterium equilibrium isotope effects (DEIE) in binding HS−, Cl−, and Br−.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
