Paul Kebarie was b a n in Sofia, Bulgaria. He studied chemistry at EM h Zvich,S*erland, and took his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry (reaction kinetics) at the University of British Columbia in Vanwwer. After 2 years postdoaaai wcik wim Fred Lossing at NRC Ottawa he joined the academic staff at the Chemistry Department of the University of Alberta in 1958. Studies of ions in gases near atmospheric pessues in his iabwatay in 1964 led to ttm discovery that ion-molecule equilibria occur Spontaneously at higher pressures and can be measured under these condiiions. His research since that time has been devoted to the study of ion-molecule reaction equilibria and the application of the data in various areas of chemistry.

Electron Aninlies and Electron-Transfer Reactions

The electron-transfer reactions in the gas phase may proceed via relatively long-lived adduct complexes A-.B. In some cases the adduct complexes can be stabilized by collisions with a third gas, and the equilibria (eq 8) can be measured. A- B = A-.B (8)

+

Such measurements lead to determinations of the binding energies AGE0 and enthalpies AHE. of the adduct A-.B. The binding energies may indicate characteristic binding between the anion and the molecule, i.e., hydrogen bonding or covalent bonding as in Meisenheimer complexes. Furthermore, the bonding in A-.B may be of importance to the kinetics of the electron-transfer reaction. These results and discussion are given in section VI. As mentioned above, radical anions are important species in solution. The available gas-phase electron affiiities can be compared with energy data in solution. Most useful in this respect are the polarographic halfwave reduction potentials E l / 2 Combination of the gas-phase data with the solutton reduction potentials leads to evaluations of the solvation energies of the radical anions. Additional insight into the nature of the solvation interactions can be obtained by measurement of the gas-phase ion-molecule equilibria 9, where B- is B- + SI = B-.SI B-(SI)n-l + SI =B-(Sl), (9) a given anion and SI is a molecule of a solvent vapor like methanol, acetonitrile, or dimethylformamide. These data and discussion are also presented in section VI of this paper. The formation of negative ions B- in the presence of B and thermal electrons depends on the temperature and pressure and the internal properties of B and B-. More directly, the observation of B- depends on the values of the electron thermal attachment and detachment rate constants. These relationships are discussed in section VII. Negative ions play an important part in analytical mass spectrometry. Particularly important areas are chemical ionization (NICI), fast atom bombardment (NIFAB), thermospray, and electrospray. The relevance of the PHPMS results to these fields is discussed in section VIII. The literature coverage in this article restricts itself to gas-phase electron-transfer reactions and equilibria and electron affinities derived therefrom. Most of this work is contained in ref 31-47. Other literature is covered only insofar as it relates to the data obtained from electron-transfer equilibria and the kinetics studies. The literature coverage extends to September 1986.

positive ions and secondary electrons by electron impact with the bath gas. The secondary electrons am brought to near thermal energies by collisions with the bath gas. Electron capture by A and B leads to excited (A-)* and (B-)*, which are subsequently thermalized by collisions with the bath gas. As A- and B- diffuse toward the walls they engage also in electron transfer with neutral B and A molecules, and the electron-transfer equilibrium (eq 1) is achieved under suitably selected conditions. The ions coming to the vicinity of the very narrow ion exit slit escape into the vacuum chamber where they are accelerated,mass analyzed, and detected (see Figure 2). The time between pulses is typically 10 ms. One given mass is observed over some 500010000 pulses, the accumulated signal leading to better signal-to-noise ratio. The ions arriving at the ion detector after the electron pulse are counted and the counts stored in a multiscaler as a function of time."

to formation of A- and B- (Figure 3B). However, due to the higher electron affinity of the dichloronaphthoquinone (B),the intensity of B- is seen to increase with time while that of A- decreases. After some 0.7 ms, the intensity ratio B- to A- becomes constant with time, which for the logarithmic intensity plot used corresponds to a constant vertical distance between B- and A-. The constant ratio is assumed to be due to achievement of equilibrium 1. In Figure 3A conditions are such that the equilibrium is established much faster. In both A and B the linear decrease of the log ion intensities after equilibrium has been reached is due to first-order diffusion and destruction of the ions at the

wall of the ion source. The ion intensity ratio after equilibrium is achieved is substituted into the equilibrium constant equation (eq 2). The concentrations of the neutrals A and B are known from the original composition of the mixture. Ion formation is a minor process, so that [A] and [B] remain virtually unchanged. A ladder (scale) constructed from AG," values obtained from some of the electron-transfer equilibria is shown in Figure 4. Determinations of K , at different temperatures lead to the evaluation of AH,"and AS,' via van't Hoff plots (see eq 2 and 3). Thus, one can also construct AH,"and AS," ladder^.^^-^^ Partial AH," and AS," ladders are given in Figures 5 and 6 . The electron affinities of the compounds in the AH,' ladder are evaluated4, from the electron affinity of SO2 determined with the electron photodetachment method by Hall.49 Furthermore, there are other electron affinity values for SO2, within f O . l eV of Hall's value: 1.097 f 0.036 eV. SO2 is a good standard also because the geometries and vibrational frequencies of SO2 and SO2- are available from the literature (see Table I, ref 41). The photodetachment electron affinity49corresponds to the negative energy change for the electron attachment process (eq 10) where SOz and SO2-are in their SO2 + e = SO,-
