Abstract

Propene radical cations undergo proton transfer reactions with water and methanol at low pressure (Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance), whereas cyclopropane radical cations react with methanol by addition—fragmentation and with water by collision-induced isomerization to form propene. The isomerization of cyclopropane into propene is slower than the hydrogen exchange between propene and water, making the reaction between C 3H + 6 and H 2O a sensitive probe for the structure of the hydrocarbon ion. The structural distinction between the two C 3H + 6 isomers can also be based on the reactions with methanol.
