Dear Hal et al.,

Another paper you might want to take a look at concerns the use of Mn for
H/D analysis:

Tanweer A. and Han L.-F. (1996)
Reduction of microliter amounts of water with manganese for D/H isotope
ratio measurement by mass spectrometry.
Isotopes Environ. Health Stud., 32: 97-103.

Cheers,
Simon
