Gas-Phase Nucleophilic Displacement Reactions

Displacement reactions of each of a variety of anionic nucleophiles reacting with each of a variety of neutrals have been studied by pulsed ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) spectroscopy.Rate constants for these reactions are interpreted in terms of a three-step reaction sequence.RRKM calculations are used to obtain information about the energy of transition states.The origin of the barrier to reaction in solution is discussed.
