Xenon as a Nucleophile in Gas-Phase Displacement Reactions: Formation of the Methyl Xenonium Ion

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

Xenon undergoes reaction with protonated methyl fluoride in the gas phase to form abundant quantities of the stable methyl xenonium ion, CH_3Xe^+. Estimated values for the xenon-carbon and krypton-carbon bond strengths in the rare gas-methyl molecular ions are 43 ± 8 and 21 ± 15 kilocalories per mole, respectively.
