Revision as of 19:09, 14 March 2010
Carbon has two stable, naturally occurring isotopes, carbon-12 and carbon-13. There is also a naturally-occuring radioactive isotope, carbon-14 (t½ = 5700 years), that is formed by the action of cosmic rays on the Earth's atmosphere. Carbon-11 is an artificial isotope used in positron emission tomography (PET), a medical imaging technique.

The standard atomic weight of carbon has been fixed at its current value since 1995.[1] The range of natural isotopic compositions makes a more precise standard value unobtainable, and some terrestrial geological specimens may show compositions outside of the normal range.[1] Natural amounts of carbon-14 (x < 10−12) are insignificant in the calculation of atomic weight.[1]
Carbon-13 is systematically depleted in samples of biological origin (compared to atmospheric carbon dioxide and most carbonate rocks) due to a kinetic isotope effect that is particularly pronounced in photosynthetic reactions.[note 2] The effect is strongest in C4-plants, which are predominant in tropical and subtropical climates, and measurements of carbon isotopic compositions are important in geochemistry, paleoclimatology and paleoceanography. Such measurements have also attracted interest for detecting cases of "doping" in sport:[4][5] steroid hormones produced by biotechnological methods would be expected to have higher amount fractions of 13C than those produced by an athlete's body.[note 3]
The primary standard for the isotopic composition of carbon is Pee Dee belemnite (PDB), a fossile marine carbonate from the Pee Dee Formation, South Carolina, USA:[6] as with most carbonate rocks, this has a relatively high amount franction of 13C, and so most δ13C values are negative. Supplies of standard PDB have long been been exhausted, so modern measurements of isotopic composition (since about 1985) are referred to a secondary standard, NBS 19, a crushed marble of unknown geographical origin that is also referred to as "TS-limestone".[7] NBS 19 forms the basis of the V-PDB (for "Vienna PDB") scale of δ13C, which is designed to give equivalent δ13C values to the older PDB scale: NBS 19 has a defined value of δ13C = +1.95‰ on the V-PDB scale. A two-point scale based on NBS 19 and L-SVEC, a lithium carbonate standard with a very low δ13C value, has also been proposed.[8][9]

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 The relative atomic mass of carbon-12 is exactly twelve atomic mass units, without any measurement uncertainty, by the definition of the atomic mass unit.
- ↑ Marine organisms that obtain carbonate from sea water to construct exoskeletons do not show the depletion of 13C in the exoskeletons: indeed, when such exoskeletons become carbonate rocks, they often show anomalously high amount fractions of 13C, an indication that the carbon did not pass through a photosynthetic pathway.
- ↑ It was shown by Aguilera, Hatton & Catlin (2002) that their 2002 samples of artificial epitestosterone had significantly (P < 0.0001) lower δ13C values than natural epitestosterone from human urine.
