Abstract

The gas phase reactivity of XeF+ towards acetylene was investigated by triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. XeF+ promotes both F+ and Xe+ transfer to acetylene, yielding C2H2F+ and C2H2Xe+, respectively. The C2H2F+ ions formed were probed by low-energy collisionaly activated dissociation mass spectrometry and characterized as CH2=CF+, namely the isomer identified as the most stable by previous theoretical studies. The 1-fluorovinyl cation reacts in the gas phase with typical nucleophiles (CH3COCH3, CH3CN, CH3OH, C2H4) as bronsted acid and/or as a fluorinating agent, depending on the thermochemistry of the processes involved.
