In recent years several hundred papers have been published annually on the subject of hydrogen isotope effects, and this review is therefore restricted to certain aspects of the subject. No reference is made to the qualitative or semiquantitative use of isotope effects in elucidating the broad outlines of reaction mechanisms, though such applications now enter into the everyday practice of the organic chemist. Nor will any attempt be made to deal with secondary or solvent isotope effects. In the latter category intensive work has continued on reactions in H20-D20 mixtures which in principle offer intriguing possibilities for unravelling both the nature of the species involved in equilibria in solution, and the intimate nature of transition states. 1 In practice, however, the results of such studies have been slightly disappointing, partly because the distinction between different possibilities usually demands very accurate measurements, and partly because the interpretation of very small differences places some strain on the simplifying assumptions which have to be made in the theoretical treatment. The present review attempts to estimate how far the available experimental material on primary kinetic hydrogen isotope eflects, especially in solution, can be accounted for by a theoretical treatment. Particular attention will be given to reactions of the type kE
