    Abstract

    A combination of the temperature- and pressure-dependencies of the kinetic isotope effect on the proton coupled electron transfer during ascorbate oxidation by ferricyanide suggests that this reference reaction may exploit vibrationally assisted quantum tunnelling of the transferred proton. © 2014 the Owner Societies.
