Tritium ( 3 H) NMR spectra of a number of compounds prepared via metal-catalyzed H/T reduction/ exchange of unsaturated hydrocarbons are presented. These show the considerable benefits that emerge from using a tritium cryo-probe.

). The subsequent scientific programme consisted of oral and poster presentations on isotopic chemistry and applications of labelled compounds, or of chemistry with potential implications for isotopic synthesis. Both short-and long-lived isotopes were represented, as were stable isotopes. The symposium programme was divided into a morning and afternoon session
