Abstract
In the study of ion-molecule reactions, there has long been practice of inferring exothermicity from the fact that a reaction is observed to occur, or, on occasion, endothermicity from the non-occurrence of a particular reaction. This “bracketing” technique has, for example, been used to establish relative proton affinities by ascertaining whether or not the reaction:
occurs preferentially from left to right or from the right to the left. Since the advent of the measurement of equilibrium constants for a bimolecular ion-molecule reactions in 1973 [1], most quantitative thermochemical information about ionmolecule reactions is derived from such measurements. Nevertheless, there are situations in which equilibrium constant determinations can not be made; this happens, for example, when one of the neutral bases is a free radical, or when a fast competing process precludes the establishement of an equilibrium.

All heats of formation of ions cited here are given using the so-called “stationary electron” convention. That is, the integrated heat capacity of the electron is taken to be zero at all temperatures.
At this writing, there are several formulations available (listed below) for estimating rate constants for complex-forming collisions of ions with polar molecules. For the results given in Tables 1 and 3, collision rate constants have been calculated using the A.D.O. theory, reference (c) below. In Table 4, we cite the range of values calculated using the different appoaches from references (c), (d), and (e). The rate constants cited or referred to in Tables 5 and 7 are Langevin-Gioumousis-Stevenson values, references (a) and (b). (a) P. Langevin, Ann. Chim. Phys. 5 (1905) 245;
