ABSTRACT:
A method of isotope enrichment including providing a reactant. The reactant is a mixture of at least two isotopic compounds. One of the isotopic compounds has a greater percentage of a selected isotope than the other. An electron transfer agent is introduced into the reactant isotopic mixture to form a reaction mixture. The electron transfer agent facilitates transfer of electrons interactive with one or more selected nuclei of the reactant. The electron transfer agent is in an amount sufficient upon reaction of the reaction mixture to establish an equilibrium between an electron rich reaction product and an electron poor reaction product. The reaction mixture is reacted until the equilibrium is established. The electron poor reaction product is then separated from the electron rich reaction product.
