Preferred Label : intramolecular isotope effect;
IUPAC definition : A kinetic isotopic effect observed when a single substrate, in which the isotopic
atoms occupy equivalent reactive positions, reacts to produce a non-statistical distribution
of isotopomeric products. In such a case the isotope effect will favour the pathway
with lower force constants for displacement of the isotopic nuclei in the transition
state.;
