Abstract

Elimination reactions are one of the most studied transformations in all of chemistry. Numerous aspects of the mechanism have been probed, and a tremendous wealth of information has been 0btained. l The selectivity in these processes is often influenced by solvation, aggregation, and counterion effects. The intrinsic reactivity, therefore, is of special interest. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations and gas-phase ion molecule investigations ...
