a. Percival, P.W., Roduner, E. and Fischer, H.
in Adv. Chem. Ser. 1979, 175, 335; ed. by H.J. Ache, ACS, Washington DC, 1979.

kM £ 3 x 104 dm3mol-1s-1

kM  derived from
 l0 in the pure alcohol assuming "concentration " of pure alcohol of 24.7M

b. Roduner, E. and Fischer, H. Hyperfine Interact, 1979¸ 6, 413.

A = 2.5 x 109 dm3mol-1s-1 Ea = 34.4 kJ mol-1

c. Ito, Y., Ng, B.W., Jean, Y.C. and Walker, D.C. Can. J. Chem., 1980, 58, 2395.

kM = 3 x 104 dm3mol-1s-1

KIE = kM / kH = 3 x 104 / 2.8 x 106 » 0.01 

kH = 2.6 x 106 dm3mol-1s-1 average of 2 values from: www.rcdc.nd.edu/compilations/HAtom/H.htm

and recently kH = (2.84 ± 0.07) x 106 dm3mol-1s-1 log(A/dm3mol-1s-1) = 11.64 ± 0.17

Ea = (29.4 ± 0.8) kJ mol-1 for T = 283 K to 359 K
