Gas phase displacement reactions of boron trihalides from their trimethylamine adducts show that the order of acceptor power is: BBr3 > BCl3 > BF3 > 1/2(B2H6). This order agrees with recent theoretical calculations and dipole moment, calorimetric, and infrared measurements on boron trihalide complexes with other reference bases.

Vinyl ketene (1,3-butadiene-1-one) has been synthesized by vacuum pyrolysis of 3-butenoic 2-butenoic anhydride. The microwave and infrared spectra of vinyl ketene in the gas phase at room temperature have been studied. The trans-rotamer has been identified, and the spectroscopic constants were found to be Ã= 39571(48) MHz, B̃ = 2392.9252(28) MHz, C̃ = 2256.0089(28) MHz, ⊿j = 0.414(31) kHz, and ⊿JK = - 34.694(92) kHz. The electrical dipole moment was found to be 0.987(23) D with μa = 0.865(14) D and μb = 0.475(41) D. A tentative assignment has been made for 17 of the 21 normal modes of vibration

The reactivity of the dimethylchloronium ion with a series of aromatic hydrocarbons has been studied in a high pressure mass spectrometer ion source using the technique of reactant ion monitoring. Benzene is unreactive but all others, from toluene to mesitylene, react by CH3+ transfer to yield σ-bonded complexes. The relative rate of reaction increases with increasing exothermicity in line with current theories of nucleophilic displacement reactions.
