Energy requirements for the indirect formation of cluster ions in the gas phase: the ion-molecule reaction of negative ions with esters of formic acid

Negative ions are shown to lead to solvated ions in the gas phase by reaction with esters of formic acid when two requirements are met: (1) the bond energy of the cluster is greater than 9.3 kcal/mole, and (2) the proton affinity of the negative ion is greater than 349 kcal/mole. A likely mechanism...

Description
Summary:Negative ions are shown to lead to solvated ions in the gas phase by reaction with esters of formic acid when two requirements are met: (1) the bond energy of the cluster is greater than 9.3 kcal/mole, and (2) the proton affinity of the negative ion is greater than 349 kcal/mole. A likely mechanism for the bimolecular process is suggested based on these results.
