The kinetics of dark quenching of diphenylcarbene (DPC) and 2,6-di-tert-butylcyclohexadiene carbene (CHC) in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) with protonated and totally deuterated units were studied to determine the mechanism of the reactions of carbenes in the polymer matrix. A comparison of the kinetic data on quenching of DPC and CHC in proton- and deuterium-containing polymers indicates the complex dependence of the kinetic isotope effect on both the temperature and the degree of conversion.
