Description:
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Using a complete set of <jats:sup>2</jats:sup>H‐labeled isotopomers, the gas‐phase reactions of Ti<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> to Zn<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> with butyl isothio‐cyanate are studied. The main product for most of the metal ions is MHNCS<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> formed by an ion/dipole mechanism. Exceptions are Cr<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>, which yields significant amounts of H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S loss, Mn<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>, which is the only ion that does not form MHNCS<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> at all but produces mainly C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>H<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> and C<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>H<jats:sub>6</jats:sub>, and Zn<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>, which predominantly reacts by charge transfer.</jats:p>
