Microwave effects on the spin adduct yield were observed in the photoreduction of menadione in micellar solutions with ordinary sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), deuterium-labeled SDS, and a mixture of them. A large isotope effect was found in the microwave modulation of the spin adduct yield, which is due to the ESR transitions of the transient radical pair in the reaction. It is demonstrated for the first time that the microwave field can be used to enrich one of the isotopes which coexist in the system.
