Theoretical investigation of isotope exchange reaction in tritium-contaminated mineral oil in vacuum pump

Isotope exchange reaction in tritium-contaminated vacuum pump oil: mechanism and HTO effect

“…5 However, the mechanism of the T-H exchange reaction with HTO is still poorly understood. Furthermore, HTO creates hydrogen bonding interaction in the system, therefore, the reaction of organic molecules would be different and likely more complex from that with T 2 .…”

Reaction mechanism of hydrogen-tritium exchange reactions between several organic and HTO molecules: a role of the second HTO

“…Despite the validity of theoretical approaches, only a few theoretical researches have been published so far. 5 Quite recently, Dong and coworkers studied hydrogen-tritium (H-T) exchange reactions between small organic and T 2 ( ref. 8 ) or HTO 5 molecules using density functional theory (DFT).…”
