CCL: calcualtion of kinetic isotopic effect values



Although the X-D and X-H bond distances are very slightly different, I
 don't know any program that can calculate that difference. The optimizations are
 done in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and the mass of the nuclei are not
 taken into account, only their charge. As far as I know (and as far as all QM
 software know) deuterium and protium have the same charge, so no reoptimization
 is necessary. Anyway, the error of the theoretical method is way bigger than the
 difference in the real bond lengths.
 Maybe this is a good opportunity to recommend an essay by Simmons and Hartwig
 that just appeared in ACIE regarding the analysis of the KIE for inter and
 intramolecular competition, an issue that has been overlooked an has been the
 root of more than one error:
  Angewandte Chemie International Edition 2012, 51, 3066â3072.
 Best,
 Sebastian.

 Dear Friends,
 Greetings! For the calculation of kinetic isotopic effect(KIE) values,
 optimization with deutrium is needed or only frequency calcualtion is enough.
 Any help in this regard will be highily appreciated.
 with best regards
 Jaccob
