โฆ Synopsis
The equilibrium for proton transfer involving acetone and ketene (CH$OCHsH++ CH2CO -CH$O++ CHsCOCH3) has been studied in a pulsed ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer. Vtiues of 193.6 r I and 194.1 c 1 kcal/mole (1 kcal/mole = 4.18 kjoules) are obtained for the proton affinities of acetone and ketene, respectively (based on a proton affinity of 193.5 C 1 kcallmole for isobutene). A value of 161.5 * 1 kcal/mole for AHf(CH&O> is derived from these results.

The heats of formation for CHsCO and CFsCO molecules have been determined using ab initio molecular orbital calculations from isodesmic schemes. The heat of formation for CHJCO has been calculated as -4.2 +2 kcal mol-', which is in good agreement with experiment and that for CF,CO as -139.9 f 2 kcal
