Abstract
CATALYTIC interchanges of hydrogen atoms between molecular hydrogen and hydrocarbons of the type RH + D2 = RD + HD have already been repeatedly observed1–5. The following instances of catalytic exchange seem of special interest as they proceed rather rapidly under mild experimental conditions and give important indications as to the mechanism of exchange reactions in general.
