The energies and heats of ion-molecule reactions have been calculated (MP4/6-31G**//6-31G** or better level) and compared with the experimental values obtained from the heats of formation. Two main types of reactions have been studied: (i) AHn + AHn+• ↔ AHn+1+ + AHn-1• (A = C to F and Si to Cl), (ii) AHn + BHm+• ↔ AHn+1+ + BHm-1• or AHn-1+• + BHm+1+ (A and B = C to F). In contrast to (i), processes of type (ii) permit easy differentiation between the proton transfer and hydrogen atom abstraction mechanisms. A third type of interaction involves reactions with radical anions (A = Li to F); comparison was made with analogous processes with radical cations. A brief comment is made about the influence of the level of computational sophistication on the energies and heats of reaction, as well as on the stabilization energy of a hydrogen bonded intermediate, a structure which is similar to that of the reaction products.

The stereochemical structure of aromatic hydrocarbons in solution being overcrowded with hydrogen atoms is not known with certainty, because the conventional X-ray and electron diffraction methods are suitable only for samples in the crystalline and vapor phase. Using EPR spectroscopy for the aromatic hydrocarbon radicals biphenyl (—), phenanthrene (—) and pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl (PPCPD) innermolecular twist and bond angles could be determined by means of hfssplittings and g-factors. Stably solvated biphenyl radical ions are found to have twist angles of 38 ±2°; phenanthrene ions turn out to be planar but change their angles of hybridization at particular positions; in the PPCPD radical the phenyl rings oscillate with small amplitude around planes orthogonal to the five-membered ring.
