Abstract
The rates of proton transfer from 2, 4‐hexadiene, 1, 3‐cycloheptadiene, cyclopentadiene and acetone to t‐butoxide have been measured in the gas phase using pulsed‐ion‐cyclotron‐resonance spectroscopy. The rate constants are (units of 10^−10^ cm^3^ molecule^−1^ s^−1^): 2.7 ± 0.4, 3.8 ± 0.4, 6.1 ± 0.7 and 10.8 ± 1.5, respectively. These results are analyzed in terms of the properties of the encounter complex and reaction transition states. The reaction profile for t‐butoxide + cyclopentadiene is modeled using RRKM theory and an estimate for the central barrier height is obtained.

The beginning of the twentieth century saw the development of new theories of acidity and basicity, which are currently well accepted. The thermochemistry of proton transfer in the absence of solvent attracted much interest during this period, because of the fundamental importance of the process. Ne
