For two and three dimensions, it provides a erude but useful pieture for eleetronie states on surfaees or in erystals, respeetively. Free motion within a spherieal volume gives rise to eigenfunetions that are used in nuelear physies to deseribe the motions of neutrons and protons in nuelei. In the so-ealled shell model of nuelei, the neutrons and protons fill separate s, p, d, ete orbitals with eaeh type of nueleon foreed to obey the Pauli prineiple. These orbitals are not the same in their radial shapes as the s, p, d, ete orbitals of atoms beeause, in atoms, there is an additional radial potential V(r) = -Ze /r present. However, their angular shapes are the same as in atomie strueture beeause, in both eases, the potential is independent of 0 and (j). This same spherieal box model has been used to deseribe the orbitals of valenee eleetrons in elusters of mono-valent metal atoms sueh as Csn, Cun, Nan and their positive and negative ions. Beeause of the metallie nature of these speeies, their valenee eleetrons are suffieiently deloealized to render this simple model rather effeetive (see T. P. Martin, T. Bergmann, H. Gohlieh, and T. Lange, J. Phys. Chem. 6421 (1991)). 

Acetic acid and other carboxylic acids are protonated in superacids to form stable carboxonium ions at low temperatures. Cleavage to related acyl cations is observed (by NMR) upon raising the temperature of the solutions. In excess superacids a diprotonation equilibrium, indicated by theoretical calculations, can play a role in the ionization process. 

The state of aqueous solutions of nitric acid In strongly acidic solutions water is a weaker base than its behaviour in dilute solutions would predict, for it is almost unprotonated in concentrated nitric acid, and only partially protonated in concentrated sulphuric acid. The addition of water to nitric acid affects the equilibrium leading to the formation of the nitronium and nitrate ions ( 2.2.1). The intensity of the peak in the Raman spectrum associated with the nitronium ion decreases with the progressive addition of water, and the peak is absent from the spectrum of solutions containing more than about 5% of water a similar effect has been observed in the infra-red spectrum. ... 

Because water is not protonated in these solutions, its addition reduces the concentration of ions, and therefore the electrical conductivity. The conductivity reaches a minimum in solutions containing 97% of acid, but rises on further dilution as a result of the formation of nitrate and hydroxonium ions. ... 

All of the reactions leading to the generation of the nitronium ion are summarized in a, processes reversing this generation in b, and all the processes involved in the attack by nitronium ion upon the aromatic and expulsion of the proton in c. 

The 4-Hydroxy-thiazoles are characterized by infrared absorption near 1610 cm (KBr) (3) or 1620 to 16.S0cm (CCI4) (8), indicating a strongly polarized carbonyl group. H-5 resonates near 5.6 ppm in the NMR spectrum like similar protons in other mesoionic compounds (3). Two fragmentations of the molecular ion are observed in the mass spectra. The first involves rupture of the 1,2 and 3,4 bonds with loss of C2R 0S . In the second, the 1,5 and 3,4 bonds are cleaved with elimination of C2R 0. ... 

One reason for the low reactivity of pyridine is that its nitrogen atom because it IS more electronegative than a CH in benzene causes the rr electrons to be held more tightly and raises the activation energy for attack by an electrophile Another is that the nitrogen of pyridine is protonated in sulfuric acid and the resulting pyndinium ion is even more deactivated than pyndine itself... 

Protonated Anions. Ions such as HSOy are recommended to be named hydrogensulfate with the two words written as one following the usual practice for polyatomic anions. However, in the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, 1979 edition, hydrogen is used as a separate word this practice is followed in this Handbook. 

Lasers can be used in either pulsed or continuous mode to desorb material from a sample, which can then be examined as such or mixed or dissolved in a matrix. The desorbed (ablated) material contains few or sometimes even no ions, and a second ionization step is frequently needed to improve the yield of ions. The most common methods of providing the second ionization use MALDI to give protonated molecular ions or a plasma torch to give atomic ions for isotope ratio measurement. By adjusting the laser s focus and power, laser desorption can be used for either depth or surface profiling. 

However, in both FI and FD, there are other neutral molecules on or close to the surface of the emitter and, in this region, ion/molecule reactions between an initial ion and a neutral (M(H)) can produce protonated molecular ions ([M + H]+), as seen in Equation 5.2. 

For this FAB experiment, a sample of the pentapeptidic enkephalin, Tyr.Gly.Gly.Phe.Leu., dissolved in glycerol was bombarded by xenon atoms. The resulting mass spectrum shows abundant protonated molecular ions at m/z 556. 

This last m/z value is easy to measure accurately, and, if its relationship to the true mass is known (n = 10), then the true mass can be measured very accurately. The multicharged ions have typical m/z values of <3000 Da, which means that conventional quadrupole or magnetic-sector analyzers can be used for mass measurement. Actually, the spectrum consists of a series of multicharged protonated molecular ions [M + nWY for each component present in the sample. Each ion in the series differs by plus and minus one charge from adjacent ions ([M + uH] + n -an integer series for example, 1, 2, 3,. .., etc.). Mathematical transformation of the spectrum produces a true molecular mass profile of the sample (Figure 40.5). 

A sample of the protein, horse heart myoglobin, was dissolved in acidified aqueous acetonitrile (1% formic acid in HjO/CHjCN, 1 1 v/v) at a concentration of 20 pmol/1. This sample was injected into a flow of the same solvent passing at 5 pl/min into the electrospray source to give the mass spectrum of protonated molecular ions [M + nH] shown in (a). The measured ra/z values are given in the table (b), along with the number of protons (charges n) associated with each. The mean relative molecular mass (RMM) is 16,951,09 0.3 Da. Finally, the transformed spectrum, corresponding to the true relative molecular mass, is shown in (c) the observed value is close to that calculated (16,951.4), an error of only 0.002%. 

The unit positive charge on the proton balances the unit negative charge on the electron. In neutral atoms, the number of electrons is exactly equal to the number of protons. In an iron atom (Fe ), there are 26 electrons and just 26 protons. A cation is formed by removing electrons not by adding protons. An ion has one electron less than the neutral atom M . Similarly, an anion M" is formed by adding an electron and not by subtracting a proton from M°. 

Chemical ionization produces quasi-molecular or protonated molecular ions that do not fragment as readily as the molecular ions formed by electron ionization. Therefore, Cl spectra are normally simpler than El spectra in that they contain abundant quasi-molecular ions and few fragment ions. It is advantageous to run both Cl and El spectra on the same compound to obtain complementary information. 

The ablated vapors constitute an aerosol that can be examined using a secondary ionization source. Thus, passing the aerosol into a plasma torch provides an excellent means of ionization, and by such methods isotope patterns or ratios are readily measurable from otherwise intractable materials such as bone or ceramics. If the sample examined is dissolved as a solid solution in a matrix, the rapid expansion of the matrix, often an organic acid, covolatilizes the entrained sample. Proton transfer from the matrix occurs to give protonated molecular ions of the sample. Normally thermally unstable, polar biomolecules such as proteins give good yields of protonated ions. This is the basis of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI). 

Chemical, or abiotic, transformations are an important fate of many pesticides. Such transformations are ubiquitous, occurring in either aqueous solution or sorbed to surfaces. Rates can vary dramatically depending on the reaction mechanism, chemical stmcture, and relative concentrations of such catalysts as protons, hydroxyl ions, transition metals, and clay particles. Chemical transformations can be genetically classified as hydrolytic, photolytic, or redox reactions (transfer of electrons). 

Bromopyrazoles (298) react with fuming nitric acid in 80% sulfuric acid to give 4-nitropyrazoles (ipso nitration Section 4.04.2.3.7). When R was an alkyl group, nitration took place at C-3 giving (299) (a small amount of the dinitro derivative (300) was also obtained) (79AJC1727). Nitrodebromination proceeds from the protonated pyrazolium ion whereas 3-and 5-nitration were expected to involve the free base. 

Nitration in 80% sulfuric acid of 4-bromopyrazoles gives rise to considerable nitro-debromination (formation of 4-nitropyrazoles) (79AJC1727). The reaction takes place on the protonated pyrazolium ion (Section 4.04.2.1.4(ii)).
