Neutral OH and NH act as proton donor. In the cationic state, they act as stronger hydrogen bond donors. Structures of (NH3)2+ & (CH3OH)2+ (NH3)2+ (CH3OH)2+ H+-transferred structure H+-transferred structure JCP 125, (2006). JCP 129, (2008). Formed through barrierless H+-transfer from NH or OH Proton donor abilities of cationic NH and OH are enhanced. CH・・・X Neutral alkyl groups normally do not act as proton donor. Does cationic CH increase proton donor ability? 2

Proton transfer in [pentane-(H2O)n]+
proton-shared structure proton-transferred structure Proton transfer occurs in the hydrated cluster of pentane cation . Proton donor ability of pentane cation is highly enhanced.
15
Summary 1) We observed the IR spectra of [pentane-(H2O)n]+ (n=1-3) with spectroscopy based on the VUV photoionization detection. The structures are analyzed by IR spectroscopic and theoretical results. 2) The proton is transferred from the pentane cation to water moieties in n=2 and 3, while proton of CH is shared in the pentyl radical and water in n=1. 3) No energy barrier exists in the proton transfer reactions from CH of pentane cation to the water moieties. These results indicate the high proton donor ability of CH of pentane cation.
