Strong inverse kinetic isotope effect observed in ammonia charge exchange reactions
Isotopic substitution has long been used to understand the detailed mechanisms of chemical reactions; normally the substitution of hydrogen by deuterium leads to a slower reaction. Here, we report our findings on the charge transfer collisions of cold Xe+ ions and two isotopologues of ammonia, NH3 a...
