Scientific paper

Results are presented for the first comprehensive set of thermochemical calculations of isotopic exchange reactions of D/H, 13C/12C, 15N/14N, and 18O/16O in the hot, deep atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. Baseline models consistent with the observational constraints on atmospheric thermal profiles, isotopic ratios, and chemical compositions were employed; the sensitivity of the results to variations in elemental and isotopic abundances was studied. In addition to HD and CH3D, which have already been observed, the most abundant deuterium-bearing gases in the atmosphere of Jupiter and Saturn are predicted to be HDO, NH2D, and HDS.
