Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) have been used to probe the mechanism of the binding of O 2 to classic inorganic compounds. The intermolecular 18 O KIEs decrease with increasing rate constants, and the correlation of the KIEs with the log k O 2values establishes that the same oxidative addition mechanism is operative in all cases, but with marked differences in the transition‐state structure (see figure).
