Threshold collision-induced dissociation of M+(C6H5NH2)(x) with Xe is studied using guided ion beam mass spectrometry. M+ include the following alkali metal ions: Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+. Both mono- and bis-complexes are examined (i.e., x=1 and 2). In all cases, the primary and lowest energy dissociation channel observed is endothermic loss of an intact aniline ligand. Sequential dissociation of a second aniline ligand is observed at elevated energies in the bis-complexes. Minor production of ligand exchange products, M+Xe and M+(C6H5NH2)Xe, is also observed. The cross-section thresholds for the primary dissociation channel are interpreted to yield 0 and 298 K bond dissociation energies (BDEs) for (C6H5NE2)(x-1)M+-C6H5NH2, x=1 and 2, after accounting for the effects of multiple ion-neutral collisions, the kinetic and internal energies of the reactants, and dissociation lifetimes. Density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory are used to determine the structures of these complexes and provide molecular constants necessary for the thermodynamic analysis of the experimental data. Theoretical binding energies are determined from single point calculations at the MP2(full)/6-311+G(2d,2p) level using the B 3LYP/6-31G* geometries. Zero point energy and basis set superposition error coffections are also included. The agreement between theory and experiment is very good in all cases except for the Li+(C6H4NH2) complex where theory underestimated the binding in this complex. The trends in M+(C6H5NH2)(x) binding energies are explained in terms of varying magnitudes of electrostatic interactions and ligand-ligand repulsion in the complexes. Comparisons are also made to previously determined experimental BDEs of M+(C6H6)(x), M+(C6H5CH3)(x), and M+(C6H5F)(x) to examine the influence of the substituent on the binding, and the factors that control the strength of cation-pi interactions.
