16. Partial H/D exchange between acetylene and water was observed without the catalyst. However, the H/D exchange was significantly enhanced by the presence of a Nieuwland catalyst.

18. At prolonged reaction time, HC=CH was completely converted to DC=CD. However, the dimerization of DC=CD also proceeds as shown in Figure 2b.
