Abstract

The geometries of acetylene, ethylene, methane, ethane, ketene, allene, propyne, acetonitrile, ketenimine, aminoacetylene, hydroxyacetylene, and all the possible anions formed by removal of a proton from these molecules have been carefully optimized using nonempirical molecular orbital calculations employing the split-valence shell 4-31G basis set. These geometries have then been used in 6-31G basis set calculations. The computed order of gas phase acidity found for these molecules is hydroxyacetylene≳ketenimine≳ketene ≳acetonitrile≳aminoacetylene≳acetylene≳propyne≳allene ≳ethylene≳ethane≳methane.
