The effect of O(16) by O(18) isotopic substitution in the excitation spectrum of a model electron-phonon Hamiltonian, previously used to describe the dynamics of the O(4)-Cu(1)-O(4) cluster in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7}, is presented. This model includes electronic correlations and electron-phonon interactions, exhibiting the presence of polaron tunneling. The calculated isotopic shifts of phonon excitations differ from those found using harmonic or anharmonic potentials, and are consistent results of optical measurements of c-axis phonons. The isotopic substitution changes the dynamics of polaron tunneling and produces a change in the local structure.
