.The [M·–l CN·I- species from ethenetetracarbonitrile (tetracyanoethylene) reacts with neutral ethene- tetracarbonitrile to give the stable adduct C11N7-. The decomposing form of this adduct eliminates C2N2 to produce C,9N5- which may react with ethenetetracarbonitrile to yield C15N,9-. Analogous anionic polymerization reactions yield a number of detectable peaks in the i.c.r. spectrum of tetra- cyanoethylene, with the structures of the ions possibly corresponding to a. Diagram Polymerization of this type can also be initiated by other nucleophiles including Cl-, Br-, I- and CF3CO2-.

The ion [F-- - -HOMe] may be produced by the reaction of CF3O- with methyl formate, a reaction of a type widely used for the production of 'solvated' negative ions. The possible reaction mechanism for the model system F-/HCO2H has been explored by ab initio calculations. The reactions of acetaldehyde and acetone with [F-- - -HOMe] yield stable [M + F-] ions which are thought to correspond to 'solvated' enolate negative ions. Their formation in terms of a mechanistic pathway, recently proposed to account for the formation of [M + RO-] ions from [RO-- - -HOR]/ > CH-CO- systems, is supported by ab initio calculations.

Stable Product

Simple alkyl aldehydes, ketones and esters containing the unit >: CH-CO-react with alkoxide-alkanol negative ions [RO----HOR] to form stable [M+RO-] negative ions (neutral denoted by M). The initial intermediate in the reaction sequence is produced by the formation of a hydrogen bond between the negatively charged oxygen of [RO----HOR] and the hydrogen of the > >CH-CO- unit. This intermediate decomposes to the stable product ion by two reaction sequences: (i) by direct elimination of ROH, and (ii) by rearrangement to a decomposing 'doubly-solvated' negative ion in which the central hydrogen of [RO----HOR] and the hydrogen of the >CH-CO unit become identical. As both reaction pathways are complex, all intermediates and certain transition states have been properly defined by using ab initio calculations at the 4-31G level.
