- Photoionization-Induced Intracluster Reactions of Chlorobenzene/Ammonia Mixed Complexes
-
Complexes of chlorobenzene and ammonia, C6H5Cl*NH3, C6H5Cl(NH3)2, and C6H5Cl(NH3)3, were studied by single-photon ionization.The ionization potentials of these three complexes were measured to be 8.744 +/- 0.022, 8.652 +/- 0.013, and 8.555 +/- 0.012 eV, respectively.The appearance potential of C6H5NH3+ from C6H5Cl*NH3 was found at 8.935 +/- 0.004 eV, which, with the known heat of formation of anilinium ion, gives the dissociation energy D(C6H5Cl*NH3) = 2.9 +/- 0.5 kcal mol-1 (12.0 +/- 2.2 kJ mol-1).Then, from its onset energy from C6H5Cl*NH3, the dissociation energy of (C6H5Cl*NH3)+ is calculated to be D+> = 10.4 +/- 0.7 kcal mol-1 (43.5 +/- 2.9 kJ mol-1), unusually large for a heterodimer ion.No production of C6H5NH3+ from trimers could be detected in the onset region.The ion C6H5NH2+ has onsets of 8.849 +/- 0.009 and 8.855 +/- 0.029 eV from C6H5Cl*NH3 and C6H5Cl(NH3)2, respectively.These energies are below the onset for C6H5NH3+ but far above the thermochemical thresholds for aniline ion, which are near 7.6 eV.Evidently, C6H5NH2+ is not produced by dissociative ionization of the excited neutral complex.Instead, the complex must first be ionized and excited to at least 0.1 eV.Since the onsets for (C6H5Cl*NH3)+ and C6H5NH2+ are lower that for C6H5NH3+, then (C6H5Cl*NH3)+ in its ground state does not spontaneously form C6H5NH3+.Kinetic energy release distributions measured for C6H5NH2+ and C6H5NH3+ indicate that the formation of both ions is consistent with statistical process; i.e., no evidence for nonstatistical mechanisms was found, even for photon energies as large as 17.7 eV.

- Nucleophilic Substitution within the Photoionized van der Waals Complex C6H5Cl-NH3
-
Efficient generation of C6H5NH3+ was found after the selective ionization of the van der Waals complex C6H5Cl-NH3 which was prepared in a supersonic molecular beam.The action spectrum of the product and its appearance energy were observed by using the two-color mass-selected multiphoton ionization spectroscopy.From the energetics of the reaction it was concluded that the ion-molecule reaction is responsible for the process and the product is generated by the nucleophilic substitution reaction occurring within the photoionized van der Waals complex.

- Benzene as a Selective Chemical Ionization Reagent Gas
-
Dilute mixtures of C6H6 or C6D6 in He provide abundant +. or +. ions and small amounts of + or + ions as chemical ionization (CI) reagent ions.The C6H6 or C6D6 CI spectra of alkylbenzenes and alkylanilines contain predominantly M+. ions from reactions of +. or +. and small amounts of MH+ or MD+ ions from reactions of + or +.Benzene CI spectra of aliphatic amines contain M+., fragment ions and sample-size dependent MH+ ions from sample ion-sample molecules reactions.The C6D6 CI spectra of substituted pyridines contain M+. and MD+ ions in different ratios depending on the substituent (which alters the ionization energy of the substituted pyridine), as well as sample-size-dependent MH+ ions from sample ion-sample molecule reactions.Two mechanisms are observed for the formation of MD+ ions: proton transfer from +. or charge transfer from +. to give M+., followed by deuteron transfer from C6D6 to M+..The mechanisms of reactions were established by ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) experiments.Proton transfer from +. or +. is rapid only for compounds for which proton transfer is exothermic and charge transfer is endothermic.For compounds for which both charge transfer and proton transfer are exothermic, charge transfer is the almost exclusive reaction.

- A systematic entropy relationship for the general-base catalysis of the deprotonation of a carbon acid. A quantitative probe of transition-state solvation
-
The general-base-catalyzed deprotonation of a carbon acid, the l-methyl-4-(phenylacetyl)pyridinium cation (pKa = 9.02 at 25 °C), has been investigated for 32 general-base catalysts (25 amines and seven phenoxide ions) in aqueous solution. Amines give a generally scattered Bronsted plot; ring-substituted benzylamines have ?= 0.52, and ring-substituted phenoxides have ?= 0.60, with the phenoxides being more reactive than amines of similar basicity. The temperature dependences of the general-base-catalyzed deprotonation of this carbon acid have been measured over the range 15-45 °C for 12 base catalysts (eight primary, secondary, and tertiary amines; 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine; two phenoxide ions; hydroxide ion). The entropies of activation for these deprotonations show a clean curvilinear dependence upon the entropies of protonation of these base species, with the hydroxide ion being the only significant deviant from this relationship. This observation quantitatively establishes the importance of solvation effects as the major source of deviations that are commonly observed in Bronsted relationships for general-base-catalyzed processes.

We used two-color resonant two-photon ionization combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry to study nucleophilic ipso-substitution reactions with halobenzenes radical cations.Molecular clusters serve as microscopic test tubes to tackle the reactivity problem of solvated radical cations.The reaction paths - van der Waals fragmentation and chemical reaction - could be energetically separated.The substitution reactions turned out to be nearly activationless.The particularities of the excitation process are discussed.

- Thermochemistry of Silaethylene and Methylsilylene from Experiment and Theory
-
Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy has been used to examine the deprotonation energetics of the methylsilyl cation, CH3SiD2+, to yield silaethylene and methylsilylene proton affinities of 205 +/- 3 and 215 +/- 4 kcal/mol, respectively.These values combined with the known heat of formation of methylsilyl cation, yield ΔHof 298(CH2SiH2) = 43 +/- 3 kcal/mol and ΔHof 298(CH3SiH) = 53 +/- 4 kcal/mol.These results are corroborated by ab initio generalized valence bond-configuration interaction calculations which indicate that silaethylene is more stable than methylsilylene by 11.6 kcal/mol, in excellent agreement with the experimental difference (10 +/- 3 kcal/mol).The adiabatic ionization potential of methylsilylene is calculated to be 8.22 eV, which is lower than the value of 8.85 eV determined for silaethyene using photoelectron spectroscopy.

- Reaction of Ammonia with Accelerated Benzoyl Ions under Multiple-collision Conditions in a Triple Quadrupole Instrument
-
The reaction of benzoyl ion with ammonia in multiple-collision conditions in the second quadrupole assembly of a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer at (laboratory) ion kinetic energies from 0 to 20 eV produced the even-electron ions +, m>+ (m=0,1) and + (n=0,1,2,3) and the odd-electron ions p>+. (p=0,1).Thermochemical information could not be obtained under multiple-collision conditions: both exotermic and endotermic reactions were observed, with no translational-energy onset measurable for the endothermic pr/cesses, nor decrease in the yield of the exothermic processes at high energies.The behaviour of cluster-ions intensities as pressure varied was qualitatively as expected.There are pressure and energy regions where spectra change little; if this feature were to be general, it would point to some utility for these conditions in qualitative analysis.

- Protonation and Site of Protonation of Anilines. Hydration and Site of Protonation after Hydration
-
The gas-phase basicities (proton affinities) of 15 substitueted anilines were determined by measuring proton-transfer equilibria with a pulsed electron beam high-pressure mass spectrometer.The gas-phase basicities are compared with experimentally measured ionization energies of the nitrogen 1s electron.A straight-line relationship is observed for the substituted anilines that are nitrogen protonated.This line includes aniline. m-NH2-, m-MeO-, m-MeS-, m-OH-, and m-C2H5-aniline were found to have higher gas-phase basicities than those predicted by the linear relationship.These compounds are ring protonated.The energies for proton transfer from ring to nitrogen for these compounds can be estimated from the straight-line correlation.Hydration equilibria BH++OH2=BHOH2+ were measured for several protonated anilines BH+.The BH+ which are normally nitrogen protonated have hydrogen bonding energies to water which increase approximately linearly with the acidity of BH+.The ring-protonated BH+ do not fit this relationship; they have lower hydration energies.Hydration induces proton transfer from ring to nitrogen for m-MeS, m-OH, and m-C2H5.The hydrated m-MeO and m-NH2 remain ring protonated.The water molecule is expected to hydrogen bond to the neutral NH2 group of these two ions.The two hydrogens of the amino group carry fractional positive charges which make this a relatively strong hydrogen bond.The gas-phase basicities are also compared with the aqueous basicities.An approximate linear dependence is obtained for the nitrogen-protonated ions.The gas-phase substituent effect is attenuated by a factor of 4 in liquid water.

Under chemical ionization conditions NH4+ protonates certain aromatic compounds PhR (R = -CN, -NH2, -NHMe, -CH2NH2, and -CONH2), and acts upon others as an electrophile, substituting -NO2, -Cl, -Br, -I, -CH2OH, -COH, -COMe, -COOH, and -COOMe with NH3+, presumably via a sigma complex.

- Properties and Reactions of Trimethyl Phosphite, Trimethyl Phosphate, Triethyl Phosphate, and Trimethyl Phosphorothionate by Ion Cyclotron Resonance Spectroscopy
-
The gas-phase ion-molecule reactions occurring in trimethyl phosphite, trimethyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, and trimethyl phosphorothionate have been investigated by ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy.Protonated parent ions, tetracoordinated phosphonium ions, and cluster ions are the reaction products observed.The proton affinities of these compounds have been determined to be 222.9, 214.2, 218.7, and 216.6 kcal/mol, respectively (relative to PA(NH3) = 207.0 kcal/mol).Homolytic bond dissociation energies of the protonated species are calculated using adiabatic ionization potentials determined by photoelectron spectroscopy.The trends in these quantities are discussed.A reasonable value for the correlated homolytic bond dissociation energy of trimethyl phosphite indicates that the first ionization potential of this molecule should be assigned to the phosphorus lone pair.The application of chemical ionization mass spectrometry to the analysis of phosphorus esters is briefly discussed.
