AbstractThe astronomical detection of molecular anions has prompted our study of their chemical reactions with atomic species that are abundant in the interstellar medium. We have recently explored the chemistry of a variety of Cx Ny− anions with hydrogen atoms and determined their reaction rate constants and products using the flowing afterglow-selected ion flow tube technique. Computational studies allow characterization of the structures of reactants and products, as well as the energetics along the reaction pathway. For anions containing one or two nitrogen atoms, reactions with hydrogen atoms are facile, and proceed primarily by associative detachment. In contrast, anions containing three nitrogen atoms are unreactive with hydrogen atoms due to reaction barriers and unfavorable thermodynamics.

The collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra of the [M − H]– anions of methyl, ethyl, and tert-butyl hydroperoxides have been measured over a range of collision energies in a flowing afterglow–selected ion flow tube (FA-SIFT) mass spectrometer. Activation of the CH3OO– anion is found to give predominantly HO– fragment anions whilst CH3CH2OO− and (CH3)3COO– produce HOO– as the major ionic fragment. These results, and other minor fragmentation pathways, can be rationalized in terms of unimolecular rearrangement of the activated anions with subsequent decomposition. The rearrangement reactions occur via initial abstraction of a proton from the α-carbon in the case of CH3OO– or the β-carbon for CH3CH2OO– and (CH3)3COO–. Electronic structure calculations suggest that for the CH3CH2OO– anion, which can theoretically undergo both α- and β-proton abstraction, the latter pathway, resulting in HOO– + CH2CH2, is energetically preferred.

The flowing afterglow and selected ion flow tube techniques are employed in gas-phase measurements of the intrinsic kinetics of protonation of methyl formate, n-propyl formate, ethyl acetate, and n-propyl acetate and subsequent fragmentation according to[Formula: see text]with R = H and CH3, R′ = CH3, C2H5, and (CH2)2CH3, and A = H2, CH4, CO, and H2O. Protonation by the acids, AH+, with relative strengths spanning a range of 65 kcal mol−1, is observed to proceed extremely rapidly with rate constants at 299 ± 2 K encompassing values of 2.9 to 8.5 × 10−9 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. Fragmentation is observed for HCOOCH3 only with the strongest acid, H3+, to produce CH3OH2+. For HCOO(CH2)2CH3, fragmentation is observed to produce C3H7+ with H3O+, and also HCOOH2+ with H3+. Little fragmentation of CH3COOC2H5 occurs with H3O+ but with H3+ the major product is CH3COOH2+ with smaller amounts of CH3CO+ and C2H5+. Proton transfer from H3O+ to CH3COO(CH2)2CH3 results in considerable dissociation to form CH3COOH2+. The fragmentation of these esters is discussed in terms of known reaction energetics and in terms of mechanisms for unimolecular acyl–oxygen, AAc1, and alkyl–oxygen, AA11, fission often invoked for analogous reactions in solution as well as modifications of these mechanisms which have been proposed in the context of recent gas-phase measurements.
