The Na+ affinities of several mono- and disaccharide stereoisomers are determined in the gas phase based on the dissociations of Na+-bound heterodimers [saccharide + B-i]Na+, where B-i represents a reference base of known Na+ affinity (kinetic method). The compounds investigated include the pentoses arabinose, xylose, and ribose; the hexoses glucose, galactose, and mannose; and the disaccharides melibiose, gentiobiose, and lactose. The decompositions of [saccharide + B-i]Na+ are assessed as a function of internal energy, to thereby obtain both absolute Na+ affinities as well as relative entropies of Na+ attachment. The Na+ affinities measured are consistent with multidentate coordination of sodium ion by the oxygen sites of the saccharides. In general, hexoses bind Na+ stronger than pentoses, suggesting that the hydroxymethyl substituent equips them with more conformational flexibility and larger inductive effects for complexing Na+. The latter properties are further enhanced in the disaccharides, which also carry more basic substituents; as a result, disaccharides form even stronger bonds to Na+. The entropies of Na+ attachment are found to rise in the order pentose < hexose < disaccharide, pointing to an increase in this direction of the rotational flexibility lost after attachment of Na+. The favored [monosaccharide + Na](+) structures predicted computationally contain pyranose rings in chair or boat conformations that permit tri- or tetradentate Na+ coordination and hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl ligands; the most stable disaccharide complexes are tetradentate and involve chair forms. In the calculated structures, the pyranose O atom and the hydroxymethyl group(s) generally participate in the Na+ binding, in agreement with the experimental trends. Small changes in the saccharide stereochemistry alter the optimum Na+ coordination possible and, therefore, the Na+ affinity; as a result, the latter thermochemical property is ideally suitable for the distinction of stereoisomeric saccharides.
