Threshold photoelectron–photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) spectroscopy has been employed to investigate the competition between bond cleavage and rearrangement reactions in the dissociation of ionized nitromethane, 1. Modeling TPEPICO breakdown diagrams with a combination of RRKM theory and ab initio calculations at the G3 level of theory allowed the derivation of the activation energy for the isomerisation of 1 to ionized methyl nitrite, 2, 82 kJ mol−1. In addition, evidence was found for a transition state switch in the bond cleavage reaction in 1 leading to CH3• + NO2+. As internal energy increases, the effective transition state for this reaction becomes tighter (i.e. is characterized by a lower entropy of activation, Δ‡S). Fitted thresholds for NO+ and CH2OHO+ ions, originating from the isomeric methyl nitrite ion, are consistent with G3 level ab initio calculations.

IThe 35Cl nuclear quadrupole resonances (77 K) and ab initio calculations of trichloromethyldichlorophosphine () show that it exists in the chess conformation form. The barrier to internal rotation about the P-C bond in I at the RHF/6-31++ G(d,p) level equals to 38.1 kJ mol-1. In chloromethyldichlorophosphine (II) the extension of the basis set up to the RHF/6-311++G(df, pd) level does not improve the description of the most preferable gauche-conformation; only if electron correlation (at the MP2 level) is taken into account the results are in a good agreement with experimental data.
