Infrared multiple photon (IRMP) photochemical activation of gas-phase ions trapped in an cyclotron resonance (ICR) spectrometer has been used to the mechanism of a gas-phase negative ion unimolecular decomposition.Upon irradiation with a CO2 laser (both high-power pulsed and low-power continous wave (CW)), tert-butoxide anion, trapped in a pulsed ICR spectrometer, decomposes to yield acetone enolate anion and methane.The mechanism of this formal 1,2-elimination reaction was probed by measuring hydrogen isotope effects (both primary and secondary) in the IR laser photolysis of 2-methyl-2-propoxide-1,1,1-d3 (1) and 2-methyl-2-propoxide-1,1,1,3,3,3-d6 (2) anions.Unusually large secondary isotope effects (pulsed laser, 1.9 for 1 and 1.7 for 2; cw laser, 8 for 1) and small primary isotope effects (pulsed laser, 1.6 for 1 and 2; cw laser, 2.0 for 1) were observed.These isotope effects, particularly the large difference in energy dependence of the primary and secondary effects, are consistent only with a stepwise mechanism involving initial bond cleavage to an intermediate ion-molecule complex followed by a hydrogen transfer within the intermediate complex.The observed secondary isotope effects have been modelled by using statistical reaction rate (RRKM) theory.The implications of this study for several previously reported unimolecular ion decompositions are also discussed.
