Flowing afterglow measurements are reported which provide rate constants and product identifications at 298 ± 2 K for the gas-phase reactions of OH− with CH3OH, C2H5OH, CH3OCH3, CH2O, CH3CHO, CH3COCH3, CH2CO, HCOOH, HCOOCH3, CH2=C=CH2, CH3—C≡CH, and C6H5CH3. The main channels observed were proton transfer and solvation of the OH−. Hydration with one molecule of H2O was observed either to reduce the rate slightly and lead to products which are the hydrated analogues of the "nude" reaction, or to stop the reaction completely, k ≤ 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. The reaction of OH−•H2O with CH3—C≡CH showed an uncertain intermediate behaviour.

Rate constants measured with the flowing afterglow technique at 298 ± 2 K are reported for the proton-transfer reactions of H3O+ with CH2O, CH3CHO, (CH3)2CO, HCOOH, CH3COOH, HCOOCH3, CH3OH, C2H5OH, (CH3)2O, and CH2CO. Dissociative proton-transfer was observed only with CH3COOH. The rate constants are compared with the predictions of various theories for ion–molecule collisions. The protonation is discussed in terms of the energetics and mechanisms of various modes of dissociation.

The gas-phase identity bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions, Cl- + CH3 Cl → ClCH3 + Cl- and Cl- + SiH3Cl → ClSiH3 + Cl- , are investigated in terms of the ab initio method, potential acting on an electron in a molecule (PAEM) and molecular face (MF) theory. The computations have been performed at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) and CISD/aug-cc-pVDZ level. Based on the ab initio calculation, according to the PAEM theory, the strength of a chemical bond during forming or rupturing may be characterized by the D pb , which is a new physical quantity relating to the barrier height of the PAEM along a chemical bond. According to the MF theory, the interesting pictures of electron transfer and interpolarization effect between the reactants are clearly demonstrated to provide visualized spatial changing features of the MF for the title reactions along the IRC routes. The reason why [ Cl⋯CH3⋯Cl]- is a high-energy transition state is also analyzed in comparison with the stable low-energy intermediate [ Cl⋯SiH3⋯Cl]- .
