The mutual diffusion coefficients of benzene and benzene-d$sub 6$ were measured at low solute concentrations in each of the following solvents: n- hexane, cyclohexane, dodecane, and hexadecane. The observed mutual diffusion coefficients for the systems containing benzene-d$sub 6$ were consistently lower than those observed for the corresponding systems containing benzene. The results of this investigation show that a measurable isotope effect exists in liquid diffusion and that the magnitude of the effect depends on the physiochemical properties of the solvents. The magnitude appears to be more closely related to the viscosity of the solvents than to the molecular weights of the solvents. (AIP)
