Six isodesmic gas-phase reactions have been studied out of which three reactions represent a redistribution of two methyl substituents and the other three represent a redistribution of two chloro substituents between two benzene nuclei. The thermodynamics of these reactions has been evaluated on the basis of the partition functions and observed heats of formation at room temperature. The partition functions have been constructed with the help of observed structural and vibrational data. If the internal rotation was present, the frequence of the corresponding torsional vibrational mode has been determined by a fit to the observed thermodynamic data.The energy characteristic calculated for these reactions (the standard change of Gibbs free energy ΔGT0, enthalpy ΔHT0, enthalpy at absolute zero ΔH00, and potential energy change ΔE) have been evaluated from the standpoint of their applicability to organic correlation analysis. The studies form a part of a wider project, and, in accordance with the findings already presented within this project elsewhere and concerning reactions of fluorobenzenes, they indicate a certain preferred role of the term ΔH00 in these contexts.

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.

Preparation of di-imide by passing hydrazine vapor through a microwave discharge yields mixtures with NH3 containing typically about 15% N2H2, estimated from the gases evolved on decomposition. The behavior of the mixture (which melts at −65 °C) on warming from −196 to −30 °C suggests a strong interaction between the components. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility and e.p.r. experiments showed that N2H2 is not strongly paramagnetic, which with other observations points to a singlet rather than a triplet ground-state.Di-imide can be vaporized efficiently, together with NH3, by rapid warming, and the vapor is surprisingly long-lived, with a typical half-life of several minutes at room temperature. The near-u.v. (3200–4400 Å) absorption spectrum of the vapor was photographed; it shows well-defined but diffuse bands, with εmax = 6(± 3) at 3450 Å.Di-imide decomposes at room temperature in two ways:[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Formation of NH3 was not observed but cannot be ruled out. The decomposition of the vapor is complicated by a sizeable and variable decomposition that occurs rapidly during the vaporization. The stoichiometry of this and the vapor-phase decomposition depends on total pressure and di-imide concentration. The kinetics of the decomposition of the vapor were studied from 22 to 200 °C by following the disappearance of N2H2 by absorption of light at 3450 Å, or the formation of N2H4 by absorption at 2400 Å, and by mass spectrometry. The kinetics are complex and can be either first- or second-order, or mixed, depending on surface conditions. The effect of olefin additives on the decomposition was studied, and is also complex.Mechanisms for the decomposition are discussed, including the possible role of trans-cis isomerization. The relatively long lifetime found for di-imide in the gas phase suggests that it may be an important intermediate in many reactions of hydronitrogen systems.

Abstract It has been shown that in kinetically first order gas phase reactions occuring under electric discharge, such as the decomposition of N2O, the application, at various initial pressures, of the same multiple of the respective starting potential ensures that the reaction occurs at the same specific rate.

The strategy of synthesizing diazeniumdiolates (X–N(O)=NO−) through the coexistence of nitric oxide and alkoxides (RO−) was introduced by Wilhelm Traube 120 years ago. Today, despite the wide use of diazeniumdiolate derivatives to release nitric oxide in the treatment of cancer, the first step of the reaction mechanism for diazeniumdiolate synthesis remains a mystery and is thought to be complex. We have studied the gas-phase reactions of nitric oxide with alkoxides at room temperature. An electron-coupled hydrogen transfer is observed, and the radical anion HNO− is the only ionic product in these reactions. HNO− can further react with nitric oxide to form N2O and HO−.
