Reactions of selected molecular anions with oxygen

An investigation of the gas-phase reactions of molecular oxygen with the molecular anions of 17 compounds formed by resonance electron capture was undertaken using a pulsed e-beam high-pressure mass spectrometer. The molecular anions of sulphur hexafluoride, perfluromethylcyclohexane, cis- and trans-perfluorodecalin, m-chloronitrobenzene, o, m-and p-fluoronitrobenzene and o-, m- and p-dinitrobenzene were found to be unreactive towards oxygen. Those of o- and p-chloronitrobenzene, penta- and perchlorobenzene, perfluorobenzene, and perfluoratoluene were found to react readily with oxygen The second-order rate constants for these reactions are shown to bear so inverse dependence on temperature. The reactions involving o- and p-chloronitrabenezene and penta-and perchlorobenzene proceed via a branched mechanism by which an ion of the type [M + O - Cl]- and Cl- ion are simultaneously produced. A greater variety of negative ions are formed in the reactions of the molecular anions of perfluorobenzene and perfluorotoluene with oxygen The electron affinities of pentachlorobenzene (0.7 eV) and perchlorobenzene (1.0 eV) are also reported for the first time.

Rate constants for gas-phase electron-transfer reactions between substituted nitrobenzenes have been measured using ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy. On the basis of the assumption that these reactions occur through the formation of an intermediate complex, a statistical model is used to interpret the reaction kinetics. The intersecting parabolas quantum mechanical model provides an alternative description of the energy surface. Energy barriers are found to be consistent for the two methods. The results for exothermic reactions are consistent with a Marcus theory analysis, but suggest that a zero-order potential energy surface may not be completely adequate for quantitative prediction of reaction rates.

Determination of the equilibrium constants K1 for gas-phase electron-transfer equilibria with a pulsed electron beam high ion source pressure mass spectrometer led to the electron affinities of 34 compounds with EA's between 0.5 and 3eV.The compounds are mostly substituted nitrobenzenes, substituted quinones, and conjugated molecules containing oxygen atoms.The EA of smaller molecules like SO2, NO2, CS2, and CH3NO2 also were determined.The method is very well suited for rapid, accurate, routine determinations of electron affinities.A comparison with EA's determined with other gas-phase methods and EA's evaluated from polarographic half-wave reduction potentials and charge-transfer spectra in solution is made.The rate constants for a number of exothermic electron-transfer reactions were determined.Most of these proceed at near collision rates.Electron-transfer reactions involving perfluorinated compounds like perfluoromethylcyclohexane, perfluorocyclohexane, and sulfurhexafluoride do not follow this behavior.While the perfluoro compounds have high thermal electron capture cross sections, they do not accept electrons from A(-) of compounds A with lower electron affinity.The perfluoro anions do transfer electrons to compounds A with higher electron affinity, and the rate constants increase with EA(A) - EA(perfluoro compound).
