The gas-phase reactions of methane with the platinum(II) ions PtX+ with X = H, Cl, Br, and CHO are studied by mass spectrometry. The PtX+ ions are generated by electrospray ionization of methanolic solutions of hexachloroplatinic acid and hexabromoplatinic acid, respectively. Small to moderate intramolecular kinetic isotope effects determined for the C—H(D) bond activation of CH2D2 suggest that the activation of methane by gaseous PtX+ cations is subject to thermochemical control by the product channels. In addition, the PtCl2+ cation is also able to activate methane, whereas PtCl3+ is unreactive under the conditions chosen. Key words: gas-phase reactions, mass spectrometry, methane activation, platinum bromide, platinum chloride.

The gas-phase thermal isomerizations of deuteriocyclopropane to the four possible monodeuterium-labeled propenes have been followed at 435 °C. The observed distribution of products provides estimates of two deuterium kinetic isotope effects, the secondary [Formula: see text] for the carbon–carbon bond cleavage leading to trimethylene diradical reactive intermediates and the primary [Formula: see text] ratio for a [1,2] shift of a hydrogen or deuterium leading from the diradical to a labeled propene. The values determined are [Formula: see text] = 1.09 ± 0.03 and [Formula: see text] = 1.55 ± 0.06. The experimental [Formula: see text] value found agrees well with some, but not all, earlier calculated values and conjectures. Key words: cyclopropane, thermal rearrangement, kinetic isotope effects.

Secondary kinetic isotope effects on four deuterated 1-pyrazolines support the formation of a trimethylene intermediate during gas phase thermolysis. Calculation of cyclization relative rate constants for the trimethylene intermediates reveals that substitution of hydrogen by deuterium has no effect when the terminal methylenes are substituted, but the rate constants are decreased when the central methylene's hydrogens are substituted. Explanations are advanced for all of the observed effects.
