The gas phase ion molecule reactions of a number of potential fluoride donors with carbon dioxide and carbonyl fluoride have been studied. By determination of preferential directions of fluoride transfer the fluoride affinities of carbon dioxide and carbonyl fluoride have been bracketed and found to be 33 ± 3 kcal/mol and 35 + 3 kcal/mol respectively. In addition, from gas phase acidity studies of acetyl fluoride and 2-fluoropropene the fluoride affinities of ketene and allene have been calculated to be 38 ± 2 kcal/mol and 15 ± 2 kcal/mol respectively. The order of fluoride affinities (Lewis acidities) of carbon dioxide, ketene, and allene have been examined and explained in terms of the electron affinities of the F—C(A)(B) species (A,B=O,CH2) and the C—F bond dissociation energies. These quantities have been estimated and the latter interpreted on the basis of the π bond energies of the three compounds.

A new method for estimating electron fractions in shielded molecular clouds is proposed on the basis of gas phase ion-molecule reactions which involves measuring the quantity . Applied to existing data, it yields upper limits to Xe in the range from 10−8 to 10−7 for a variety of clouds, warm as well as cool. An upper bound to the cosmic ray ionization rate is also obtained.

A scheme is presented whereby sequences of fast bimolecular gas phase ion molecule reactions in mixtures containing (CHF2)2O may be used to generate proton bound dimer species at low pressures in an ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer. Using competitive solvent switching reactions it is demonstrated that solvent exchange equilibria may be readily established and from the thermochemical data derived from such equilibria accurate relative single molecule solvation energetics obtained.

<div> <div> <div> <p>A key step in gas-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) formation involves the addition of acetylene (or other alkyne) to σ-type aromatic radicals, with successive additions yielding more complex PAHs. A similar process can happen for N- containing aromatics. In cold diffuse environments, such as the interstellar medium, rates of radical addition may be enhanced when the σ-type radical is charged. This paper investigates the gas-phase ion-molecule reactions of acetylene with nine aromatic distonic σ-type radical cations derived from pyridinium (Pyr), anilinium (Anl) and benzonitrilium (Bzn) ions. Three isomers are studied in each case (radical sites at the ortho, meta and para positions). Using a room temperature ion trap, second-order rate coefficients, product branching ratios and reaction efficiencies are reported. </p> </div> </div> </div>
