Experimental measurements of the gas phase ion equilibria X− + HX = XHX−, X−(HX)n−1 + HX = X−(HX)n, and X− + HY = XHY where X, Y = Cl, Br, I, with a high pressure mass spectrometer, combined with the recent determination of F− + HF = FHF− by Larson and McMahon, provide a very complete set of hydrogen bond dissociation enthalpies and free energies for the hydrogen bihalide ions. The bond energy trends in the different XHX− and XHY− are discussed. The data can be used also for the evaluation of lattice energies of salts containing the bihalide ions and for determinations of the solvation energies of these ions.

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.
