Extended-basis-set calculations including electron correlation have been carried out on the reactants, products and saddle point of the gas-phase S{sub N}2 reaction F{sup -}(H{sub 2}O) + CH{sub 3}Cl and its deuterium substituted analogs. Transition state theory (TST) rate constants and secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) are calculated for both CD{sub 3} and D{sub 2}O substitution, and the results are in excellent agreement with recent experiments. 32 refs., 2 figs., 4 tabs.
