The kinetics and energetics of proton removal from propene, which contains several sites of different acidities, were investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Rate and equilibrium constants were measured for the proton-transfer reaction [Formula: see text]at 296 ± 2 K using the flowing afterglow technique. The rate constants were determined to be kforward = (1.1 ± 0.3) × 10−9 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 and kreverse = (5.4 ± 1.9) × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. The ratio of rate constants, kf/kr = 2.1 ± 0.7, was found to be in agreement with the equilibrium constant, K = 2.2 ± 0.8, determined from equilibrium concentrations. Abinitio molecular orbital calculations predicted the removal of a methyl proton from propene to yield the allyl anion to be energetically favoured. This prediction was supported by measurements of deuteron removal from CD3CHCH2. The measured value of K corresponds to a standard free energy change, ΔG0298, of −0.44 ± 0.14 kcal mol−1 which provided values for the standard enthalpy change ΔH0298 = +0.5 ± 0.4 kcal mol−1, the proton affinity, PA298(C3H5−) = 391 ± 1 kcal mol−1, the heat of formation, ΔH0f,298(C3H5−) = 29.0 ± 0.8 kcal mol−1, and the electron affinity EA(CH2CHCH2) = 12.4 ± 1.9 kcal mol−1. The experimentally established value for the proton affinity of the allyl anion was in reasonable accord with the value of 422.3 kcal mol−1 determined by calculation. The electron affinity of the allyl radical derived in this study is supported by previous calculations and several limiting values obtained experimentally.


The thermochemical data of part I, the heats of formation and solution of the alkali-metal (group 1 a ) azides, are used in conjunction with other data to derive values for the lattice energies of alkali-metal azides, the heat of formation of the azide radical, for the electron affinity and hydration heat of the azide ion. Calculations by previous workers of these magnitudes, which are not of course susceptible to direct measurement, have generally been erroneous. The lattice energies of the alkali azides (kcal mole -1 ) are: LiN 3 , 194; NaN 3 , 175; KN 3 , 157; RbN 3 , 152; CsN 3 , 146. For potassium, rubidium and caesium azides a term-by-term theoretical calculation of the lattice energy which allows for the non-spherical character of the azide ion supports these figures, which are based on experimental data of part I. The standard enthalpy of formation of the azide radical ∆ H 0 f (N 3G ) is estimated to be 116 kcal mole -1 . The electron affinity of the azide radical E (N 3G ) is 81 kcal mole -1 . These figures permit the evaluation of other lattice energies and the following values (kcal mole -1 ) have been obtained: NH 4 N 3 , 175; CuN 3 , 227; AgN 3 , 205; TlN 3 , 163·5; CaN 6 , 517; SrN 6 , 494; BaN 6 , 469 and PbN 6 , 516. From the enthalpy of formation of the azide radical the bond dissociation energies D ( X — N 3 ) in some covalent azides may be derived. D (H — N 3 ) is 96 kcal mole -1 and D (C— N 3 ) in aliphatic azides is about 83 kcal mole -1 .
