Abstract

The relative kinetic stabilities of different 16‐mer oligonucleotide duplexes were investigated by source collision‐induced dissociation (CID) in a heated capillary electrospray ion source. They were compared with the relative stabilities in solution obtained by thermal denaturation monitored by UV spectrophotometry. The results clearly show that both hydrogen bonding and base stacking interactions that are present in solution are maintained in the gas phase. This suggests that the electrospray process preserves the double‐helix structure of DNA. A step by step opening of the double helix structure is proposed for the gas‐phase dissociation, competing with the covalent bond cleavage of bases. We also draw attention to the fact that by source CID, it is the kinetic stability of the complexes that is probed. In particular, this implies that only complexes of the same size can be compared.

The rate law -d[O,]/dt = kl[A][OJ + k3[A][03]2/(k4 + kb[02]) has been found to obrain for the reaction of ozone with allene and with 1,2-butadiene. We now find that this rate law also applies to the reaction of ozone with ethylene and presumably with all lower alkenes. This generalizes the inhibiti

## Abstract An analysis is made of relationships to be expected between the enthalpies and entropies of reactions carried out in the gas and liquid phases, assuming ideal thermodynamic behavior of the components. The results of the analysis are compared with experimental results reported in the lit
