Enrichment of germanium-73 with the magnetic isotope effect on the hydrogen abstraction reaction of triplet benzophenone with triethylgermane in an SDS micellar solution
Using the hydrogen abstraction reaction of triplet benzophenone with triethylgermane in an SDS micellar solution, we succeeded in enriching Ge-73 with the magnetic isotope effect. At zero magnetic field, 0.5% enrichment of Ge-73 was observed for the cage product (diphenyl(triethylgermyl)methanol). With increasing magnetic field strength (B), the enrichment of Ge-73 increased initially, attaining the maximum value of 5.3% at 500 G. At higher fields (500 G < B less than or equal to 10 kG), it decreased gradually, becoming 1.0% at 10 kG. The magnetic field dependence of the enrichment of Ge-73 can be explained by the relaxation mechanism.
