The temperature dependence of the gas phase equilibria [Formula: see text] where en = ethylene diamine were measured for n = 1 to n = 3. The equilibrium K+ + dimethoxyethane [Formula: see text] K+(dimethoxyethane) was also determined. The measurements were made with a high ion source pressure mass spectrometer equipped with a thermionic potassium ion emitter. The resulting ΔH0, ΔG0, and ΔS0 values are compared with the corresponding values for monodentate ligands like H2O, NH3, CH3OCH3 etc. determined in earlier work. As expected, the bidentate ligands lead to considerably stronger (0,1) interactions. Dimethoxyethane leads to a stronger complex than ethylene diamine. The third molecule of ethylene diamine leads to much weaker binding than is observed for the first two molecules. Explanation of the observed effects is given on basis of electrostatic and steric arguments.

<div> <div> <div> <p>A key step in gas-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) formation involves the addition of acetylene (or other alkyne) to σ-type aromatic radicals, with successive additions yielding more complex PAHs. A similar process can happen for N- containing aromatics. In cold diffuse environments, such as the interstellar medium, rates of radical addition may be enhanced when the σ-type radical is charged. This paper investigates the gas-phase ion-molecule reactions of acetylene with nine aromatic distonic σ-type radical cations derived from pyridinium (Pyr), anilinium (Anl) and benzonitrilium (Bzn) ions. Three isomers are studied in each case (radical sites at the ortho, meta and para positions). Using a room temperature ion trap, second-order rate coefficients, product branching ratios and reaction efficiencies are reported. </p> </div> </div> </div>
