Ethene-1,1-d2, also known as deuterated ethylene, is a stable isotopologue of ethene where both hydrogen atoms in the vinyl group are replaced by deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen. Its molecular formula is C2D4, and it is characterized by its double bond between the two carbon atoms, which is a defining feature of alkenes. Ethene-1,1-d2 is a colorless gas at room temperature and exhibits similar physical properties to its non-deuterated counterpart, including flammability and volatility. The presence of deuterium alters its vibrational spectra, making it useful in various applications, particularly in NMR spectroscopy and studies involving kinetic isotope effects. Ethene-1,1-d2 is primarily utilized in research settings, including organic synthesis and as a tracer in chemical reactions. Its unique isotopic composition allows for enhanced analysis of reaction mechanisms and pathways. As with all alkenes, it can undergo typical reactions such as polymerization, hydrogenation, and electrophilic addition, albeit with some differences in reaction rates due to the presence of deuterium.
