As can be seen from the data presented, the high energies of complex formation decrease sharply the endothermicity of the retro-Wittig type decomposition and, moreover, fundamentally change the reaction mechanism. As has been shown for betaines (")X-E14Me2-CH2-E15( + )Me3 (X = S, Se E14 = Si, Ge E14 = P, As), the reaction occurs as bimolecular nucleophilic substitution at the E14 atom. For silicon betaines, the transition states TS-b-pyr with pentacoordinate silicon and nearby them no deep local minima corresponding to the C-b complexes can be localized in the reaction coordinate.

The reaction in Equation (3.36) is highly exothermic and releases 134 kJmol-1 of energy. The camper is kept warm by this heat. The reaction in Equation (3.36) involves complexation. In this example, we could also call it hydration or adding water of crystallization . We will call the energy released the energy of complexation ... 

Increased pressures in a mass spectrometer lead to ion-molecule reactions, and measurements of such equilibria can be used to derive heats of formation or dissociation energies of complex fluoro ions. Ion cyclotron resonance spectrometers are mainly employed (222). 

First of all, quantum calculations allow one to predict basicity scales in agreement with experiment provided that the calculations are performed on the preferred conformation of the isolated molecule. If this is not done, a given term within a consistent series may jump from one rank to another as a function of the conformation used for the calculations. The determinant role of preferred conformation on any property (barrier to internal rotation and inversion, dipole moment, first adiabatic ionization potential, acidity and basicity in the gas phase, energy of complexation to BF3, etc.) was clearly demonstrated. We further show the importance of the role of preferred conformation in explaining some of the anomalies in Drago s systematics. 

The relative magnitude of the two concentrations evidently depends on the magnitude of the equilibrium constants and of the concentrations of M and X. Two further points need to be made, (i) It is likely that the formation of 3 from 2 will be favoured, i.e., the equilibrium constant will be enhanced, by a statistical factor akin to an entropy of mixing, (ii) For the species 2 there is no front and back , the MP+BM is symmetrical, and therefore the probability of the propagation, i.e., the, is twice as great as it would be for XP+BM, even if the free energy of complexing is the same for X and M.

Also, the borabenzene adduct with CO (115a) proves stable. According to MP2/6-31G //6-31G calculations (90JA1707), the energies of complexes (115) and (115a) are lower by, respectively, 16.4 and 39.4 kcal/mol than the sum of the energies of free molecules.
