Equilibrium constants K1 for reaction [1] RH + Cl− = RHCl− in the gas phase were measured with a high pressure mass spectrometer under chemical ionization conditions. Data for some 40 compounds RH are presented. It is found that the binding free energies [Formula: see text] for RH = oxygen acids increase with the gas phase acidity of RH. The strongest bonds are formed with strong acids like HCO2H, CH3CO2H, and phenol. Water and alkyl alcohols give much weaker interactions. A simple relationship between gas phase acidity and binding free energy does not occur for RH = carbon acids. Carbon acids like cyclopentadiene, whose high gas phase acidity is largely due to charge derealization by conjugation in the completed anion, do not give Cl− adducts with stability commensurate with the acidity. A relationship between gas phase acidity and binding energy is found for carbon acids with carbonyl groups and for the substituted toluenes. Molecular orbital calculations with the STO-3G basis set provide insights to the bonding occurring in RHCl−. For all cases investigated, hydrogen bonding to Cl− provides the most stable structure. Generally the hydrogen bond occurs through the hydrogen which has the highest net positive charge. The hydrogen bond strength is found approximately proportional to this positive charge. Another proportionality is found between the charge transferred from Cl− to RH, on formation of RHCl−, and the strength of the hydrogen bond.

The flowing afterglow technique has been employed in measurements of the rate and equilibrium constants at 296 ± 2 K for reactions of the type[Formula: see text]and[Formula: see text]where R1 and R2 may be H, CH3, or C2H5. The equilibrium constant measurements provided absolute values for the intrinsic (gas-phase) acidities of the Brønsted acids CH3NH2, C2H5NH2, (CH3)2NH, and (CH3)3N, the heats of formation of their conjugate bases, and the electron affinities of the corresponding radicals R1R2N. Proton removal energies, ΔG0298/(kcal mol−1), were determined to be 395.7 ± 0.7 for [Formula: see text] 391.7 ± 0.7 for [Formula: see text] 389.2 ± 0.6 for [Formula: see text] and > 396 for [Formula: see text] Heats of formation, ΔH0f.,298, were determined to be 30.5 ± 1.5 for CH3NH−, 21.2 ± 1.5 for C2H5NH−, and 24.7 ± 1.4 for (CH3)2N−. Electron affinities (in kcal mol−1) were determined to be 13.1 ± 3.5 for CH3NH, 17 ± 4 for C2H5NH, and 14.3 ± 3.4 for (CH3)2N. These results quantify earlier conclusions regarding the intrinsic effects of substituents on the gas-phase acidity of amines and provide an experimental assessment of recent molecular orbital calculations of proton removal energies for alkylamines.

The equilibria, YPhOH + Br− = YPhOH-Br−, involving 26 differently substituted phenols, were determined with a pulsed high pressure mass spectrometer. The −ΔG0 evaluated from the equilibrium constants represent the hydrogen bond free energies in YPhOH-Br−. These data and data for X− = Cl− and I−, determined previously in this laboratory, are used to examine the substituent effects on the hydrogen bonding. It was found that the hydrogen bond energies in YPhOH-X− increase approximately linearly with the gas phase acidities of the phenols, YPhOH. This is in agreement with earlier observations that showed the bond energies in AH-B−, where AH were oxygen and nitrogen acids and B− closed shell anions, increase with increasing acidity of AH.A detailed analysis of the substituent effects, which is possible for YPhOH-X−, shows that the relationship with the acidity of AH can be divided into two parts. One is the increasing extent of actual proton transfer from AH on formation of the hydrogen bonded complex. Such proton transfer occurs in YPhOH-X− only for the series X− = Cl−. The second effect, which occurs for Cl− and is dominant for Br− and I−, is not directly related to the acidity of the phenols (or AH in general) but depends on a similarity of the substituent effects on the acidity and the stabilization of YPhOH-X− (or AH-B− in general). The dominant contribution to YPhOH-X− stabilization in this case is due to the field effects of the substituents, i.e., π delocalization plays only a small part. Therefore, the correlation with the acidity of YPhOH, where π delocalization is important, is not very close.

Far Infrared Spectra

The equilibrium constants of gas-phase complexes of HF with dimethyl, methyl ethyl and diethyl ether have been measured at several temperatures using the Benesi-Hildebrand approximation on the absorption band of the HF stretching vibration in the complex. From these, values of Δ H of — 43, — 38 and — 30 kJ mol -1 respectively, have been determined. They are interpreted in terms of conformational rearrangements of the ethers when they form hydrogen bonds. The far infrared spectra of the complexes with both HF and DF have also been recorded and in each case a band observed at around 180 cm -1 which is assigned to the intermolecular stretching mode of vibration. For the complex between HF and dimethyl ether a rotational contour has been observed at about 10 cm -1 .

The rearrangement of the fulminate anion (CNO-) to the cyanate anion (OCN-) has been examined by using high-level ab initio molecular orbital calculations which include a diffuse-function-augmented polarization basis set and electron correlation incorporated at the full fourth-order Moller-Plesset level (MP4). The reaction is predicted to be exothermic by 275 kJ mol-1. Our best calculations indicate theinvolvement of a metastable cyclic oxazirinyl anion intermediate. However, this lies in an extremely shallow potential well and, in contrast to the predictions of semiempirical calculations, is unlikely to have more than a fleeting existence. The fulminate and cyanate anions are calculated to be stable with respect to electron loss and stable with respect to intramolecular rearrangement; accordingly, both should be observable gas-phase species.

The ultraviolet spectra of a number of 2,4-dinitrodiphenylamines suggest that these compounds are generally non-planar in a number of different solvents. The infrared and ultraviolet spectral data in different solvents also suggest that an intramolecular hydrogen bond is present in these molecules, at least in inert solvents. There is evidence that a p-nitro substituent is necessary to increase the positive charge on the amino group sufficiently to permit it to form this fairly strong type of hydrogen bond.

Hydrogen bonding interactions between trimethylamine (TMA) and a series of para substituted phenols (X– C 6 H 4 OH , X = H , CH 3, NH 2, Cl , CN , and NO 2) are studied by using density functional theory with the hybrid B3LYP functional and the 6-31++G(d,p) basis set. Both electron donor and acceptor substituents (X) are chosen to study systematically the relation between the proton donor ability of the phenols and the strength of the OH … N hydrogen bond. The effect of hydrogen bonding on spectral and structural parameters and their inter relation are discussed. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis (occupation of σ* orbitals, hyperconjugative energies and atomic charges) is also carried out to elucidate the reason behind the spectral and structural changes due to hydrogen bond formation. Several correlations between hydrogen bond strength and bond properties are discussed.

AbstractA computational study of the chemical kinetics and thermodynamics study of the SNAr between 3,5-dinitroethoxypyridine 1a and 3,5-dinitromethoxypyridine 1b with piperidine 2 in the gas phase is reported using hybrid density functional theory method B3PW91 and 6–31G(d,p) basis set. The reaction was modeled via both the catalyzed and base-catalyzed pathways which proceeded with the initial attack of the nucleophile 2 on the substrates 1 to yield the Meisenheimer complex intermediate that is stabilized with hydrogen bonding. Calculations show that the reaction goes via the formation and decomposition of a Meisenheimer complex, which was observed to be stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Along the uncatalyzed pathway, the decomposition of the Meisenheimer complex was the slow step and requires about 28 kcal/mol. This barrier was reduced to about 14.8 kcal/mol with the intervention of the base catalyst, thus making the formation of the Meisenheimer complex rate determining. All reactions were calculated to be exothermic, about −6.5 kcal/mol and −0.6 kcal/mol, respectively, for the reaction of 1a and 1b with 2.

Measurements of the proton transfer equilibria: A1− + A2H = A2− with a pulsed electron beam high pressure mass spectrometer were extended to α, β, γ chlorosubstituted aliphatic acids. The equilibrium constants were used to evaluate ΔG0 for the proton transfer reactions. Assuming ΔG ≈ ΔH and using standard acids AH for which the difference between the bond dissociation energy D(A—H) and the electron affinity of A, EA(A) was known one could evaluate the corresponding difference for the newly measured acids and place them on an absolute acidity scale. The gas phase acidity was observed to increase in the order: acetic, propionic, butyric, γ-Cl butyric, β-Cl butyric, β-Cl propionic, α-Cl butyric, α-Cl propionic, α-Cl acetic. The gas phase acidities are compared with those observed in aqueous solution. The effects of the Cl substituent parallel those in solution but are much larger. The attenuation occurring in solution is attributed to weaker hydrogen bonding of the chloro stabilized acid anions to water molecules.
