A series of proton transfer reactions monitored in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer allows the determination of the gas-phase basicity ( GB) and the proton affinity ( PA) of formaldehyde. The values determined by the thermokinetic method, GB(CH2O) = 681.5 ± 0.7 kJ mol−1 and PA(CH2O) = 711.5 ± 2.1 kJ mol−1 are in excellent agreement with data originating from proton transfer equilibrium constant determinations or from G2 calculations.

The flowing afterglow and selected-ion flow tube (SIFT) techniques have been applied in room-temperature measurements of the kinetics for proton-transfer reactions of ethane with HeH+, H3+, N2H+, CH5+, N2OH+, and HCO+. The fragmentation of C2H7+ was followed over a range in excess energy of l00 kcal mol−1. Equilibrium constants were measured at low excess energies for the proton-transfer reactions with HCO+ and N2OH+. The latter provided values for the proton affinity of ethane and ΔHf0(C2H7+) and, indirectly, values for the proton affinity of ethylene and ΔHf0 (C2H5+). Additional measurements of the kinetics of the reactions of C2H6 with H+ itself, O+, OH+, and H2O+ provided insight into the competition between proton-transfer and other reaction channels and the fragmentation associated with the C2H6+ ion.
