Rate constants measured with the flowing afterglow technique at 298 ± 2 K are reported for the proton-transfer reactions of H3O+ with CH2O, CH3CHO, (CH3)2CO, HCOOH, CH3COOH, HCOOCH3, CH3OH, C2H5OH, (CH3)2O, and CH2CO. Dissociative proton-transfer was observed only with CH3COOH. The rate constants are compared with the predictions of various theories for ion–molecule collisions. The protonation is discussed in terms of the energetics and mechanisms of various modes of dissociation.

Flowing afterglow measurements at 296 ± 2 K are reported which explore three aspects of the gas-phase acid–base chemistry of the methoxide anion. Firstly, the intrinsic reactivity of this ion has been determined from measurements of rate constants for solvent-free proton-transfer reactions with molecules more acidic than methanol including CH2=C=CH2, C6H5CH3, C2H5OH, C2H2, CH3CN, CH3COCH3, CH3CHO, CH3NO2, and HCN. Secondly, equilibrium constant measurements have been performed for solvent-free proton-transfer reactions which provide a gas-phase scale of acidities for these molecules relative to the acidity of methanol. Finally, rate constants were measured for the reactions of these acids with methoxide ions solvated with up to three molecules of methanol. The results establish trends in reactivity as a function of step–wise solvation when relative acidity is preserved and when a reversal occurs in the relative acidity upon solvation.
