On the whole, the gas-phase ion chemistry of these methyl cyanates and isocyanates is straightforward, and, perhaps sur-prisingly, no extensive condensation reactions were observed. Methyl isocyanate is known to undergo rapid and exothermic condensation reactions in the liquid phase, but this does not appear to be the case in the gas phase. The values obtained for the proton affinities of methyl thio-cyanate and methyl isothiocyanate from boththe ICR experiments and from the calculations are quite similar. Considering the differences in the structures of the two protonated molecules, and especially the factthat the favored site of protonation in CH3SCN is clearly the nitrogen while in CH3NCS the sulfur appears to be slightly favored, this is rather surprising. Furthermore, the angle the proton formswith the CN bond in protonated CH3SCN is closeto 180, while in CH3NCS the H+ SC angle is 95. Therefore, it is hard to believe that the similarity in the proton affinities of the two isomers arises from some inherent property of the molecules and is not merely coincidental. The CHNCS and CHSCN radicals have proton affinities which are within less than 5 kcal/mol of each other. However, in this case too, the similarity is attributed to a coincidence.
