The experimental methods designed to investigate the energetics of gas-phase ions have been another important source of thermochemical data, particularly throughout the past two or three decades. In this chapter, we discuss the main quantities that are measured experimentally and lead to reaction enthalpy values. The adiabatic ionization energy of any molecule AB (mono-, di-, or polyatomic), represented by Ei (AB), is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the isolated molecule at 0 K: AB(g) → AB+(g) + e−(g) (4.1) The proviso T = 0 signifies that AB is in its electronic, vibrational, and rotational ground states and has no translational energy. The word isolated indicates the perfect gas model. The “minimum energy” condition ensures that AB+ is also in its electronic, vibrational, and rotational ground states and the translational energies of AB+ and e− are both zero; it also indicates that the products in reaction 4.1 do not interact, that is, they also conform with the perfect gas model.

C–H and C–C bond activation of hydrocarbons at metal centres are of fundamental importance in biochemistry, organometallic chemistry, and catalysis. The present work aims to search for novel mechanisms for activation of C–C and C–H bonds by transition metals in the gas phase. Using high-level density functional calculations, we systemically studied the reactions of Ti+, V+, and Fe+ with ethane, and proposed new pathways of C–C and C–H bond activation—concerted activation of C–C and C–H bonds, and 1,2-H2 elimination. These two pathways clearly differ from the general addition–elimination mechanism.
