Gas Phase Ion

The gas phase ion molecule reactions of a number of anions, X−, with diborane, B2H6 have been investigated using ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy. Two distinct reaction channels are observed in addition to simple proton transfer. The first of these is production of BH4− and BH2X while the second is formation of BH3X− and BH3. In order to determine the importance of thermodynamic factors in the course of reaction abinitio calculations have been carried out on the species involved to obtain the relative stabilities of the two possible pairs of products. The 4-31 +G basis set incorporating additional flat s and p functions has been used since this basis set has been demonstrated to give the most accurate description of anions to date. The results obtained indicate that the thermochemical factors are instrumental in determining the reaction pathway.

The reactions of the strongly hydrogen bonded anions, CH3CO2HF− and (CH3CO2)2H−, with alkyl halides have been studied in the gas phase by ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy. A novel reaction of nucleophilic attack by (CH3CO2)2H− with alkyl chlorides to produce CH3CO2HCl− and alkyl acetates is reported. Parallels are drawn to synthetically important analogous reactions in glacial acetic acid solutions of alkali metal fluorides.

The gas phase ion–molecule reactions of α,α,α′,α′ tetrafluorodimethyl ether both alone and in mixtures with water have been examined. The dominant feature of the ion chemistry of these mixtures is the sequential bimolecular production of the hydrated hydronium ion, H5O2+. Two independent mechanistic pathways for production of H5O2+ are outlined arising from reaction of H3O+ with (CF2H)2O and from CF2H—O=CHF+ with H2O. Implications for examination of solvent switching equilibria are discussed.
