A STUDY ON CH5O+ IONS IN GAS PHASE CID EYPERIMENT AND QUANTUM CHEMISTRY CALCULATION

The structures of CH5O+ from two different reactions which are protonation of CH3OH from the above two pathways possess the same structures, CH3OH2+. The value of kinetic energy release for the metastable decomposition CH2OH3+-> CH2OH+ + H-2 determined from the experiment is in good agreement with that from theoretical calculations. The transition state of above reaction were disscussed.

CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRIC STUDY ON THE TRANSFER MECHANISM OF ALKALI-METAL IONS ACROSS LIQUID LIQUID INTERFACE FACILITATED BY TRITON X-100

The transfer behavior of alkali motal ions K~+ and Na~+ across the interfaces of water/nitrobenzene and water/1, 2-dichloroethane facilitated by Triton X-100 is investigated by cyclic voltammetry with four electrodes. The equations of interfacial half-wave potential derived in terms of the mechanism proposed isverified by the experimental data and consistent with the practical △_0~wφ_p-pM curves.

STUDY ON C2H62+ DOUBLY CHARGED IONS - EVIDENCE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF C2H62+ IN GAS-PHASE

Collision-Induced Dissociation (CID) or Collision Activation (CA) of ion involves high kinetic energy colliding with neutral gas molecules. In part of the ions, the translational energy is converted into excitation energy, Which may lead to subsequent ion decomposition. CID has developed into an important technique for elucidating the

The electrochemical reduction reaction of dissolved oxygen on Q235 carbon steel in alkaline solution containing chloride ions

Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and rotating disk electrode voltammetry have been used to study the effect of chloride ions on the dissolved oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on Q235 carbon steel electrode in a 0.02 M calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)(2)) solutions imitating the liquid phase in concrete pores. The results indicate that the cathodic process on Q235 carbon steel electrode in oxygen-saturated 0.02 M Ca(OH)(2) with different concentrations of chloride ions contain three reactions except hydrogen evolution: dissolved oxygen reduction, the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II), and then the reduction of Fe(II) to Fe. The peak potential of ORR shifts to the positive direction as the chloride ion concentration increases. The oxygen molecule adsorption can be inhibited by the chloride ion adsorption, and the rate of ORR decreases as the concentration of chloride ions increases. The mechanism of ORR is changed from 2e(-) and 4e(-) reactions, occurring simultaneously, to quietly 4e(-) reaction with the increasing chloride ion concentration.

Formation and dissociation of protonated pyridine-methanol cluster ions at 355 and 266 nm

The multi-photon ionization process of the hydrogen-bond cluster of pyridine-methanol has been investigated using a conventional and reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (RTOF-MS) at 355 and 266 nm laser wavelengths, respectively. The sequences of the protonated cluster ions (CH3OH)(n)H+ and (C5H5Nn)(CH3OH)(m)H+ (n = 1,2) were observed at both laser wavelengths, while the sequence of the cluster ions (CH3)OHn (H2O)H+ was observed only at 355 nm laser wavelength. The difference between the relative signal intensities of the protonated methanol cluster ions at different laser wavelengths is attributed to different photoionization mechanisms. Some nascent cluster ions in metastable states dissociated during free flight to the detector. The dissociation kinetics is also discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
