G. Bouchoux et Jy. Salpin, Re-evaluated gas phase basicity and proton affinity data from the thermokinetic method, RAP C MASS, 13(10), 1999, pp. 932-936
Gas phase basicity (GB) and proton affinity (PA) determinations by the ther
mokinetic method have been reevaluated in the light of the new basicity sca
le, It is found that the thermokinetic method provides GB values with a pre
cision better than +/-3 kJ/mol, The following GB values are obtained: isobu
tene=776.3; acetone=782.1; ketene=790.1; methylketene=809.6; formaldimine=9
29.7; vinylimine=880.3; sulfine = 755.1 kJ/mol, Some discrepancies between
the present results and the tabulated values are clarified. Copyright (C) 1
