Title: Primary tritium isotope effect on hydride transfer from sodium borohydride to cyclopropenium ion

Reduction of a cyclopropenium perchlorate with tritium-labeled sodium borohydride shows a primary kinetic isotope effect, suggesting that hydride transfer is at least partially rate-determining and thus demonstrating that formation of the encounter complex between cation and hydride is reversible.
