A MINDO/3 theoretical study within the framework of the transition-state theory has been realized on the secondary and primary kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in different radical reactions. The dependence on temperature has been analyzed by partitioning the total isotope effect into its rotational, translational, vibrational excitation, and zero-point contributions. A comparison of KIE between the inter- and intramolecular additions has been performed and the role of the new vibrations is discussed. 30 references, 6 figures, 2 tables.
