Abstract

Molecular beam scattering experiments are used to investigate collisions of a protic molecule, deuterated 1-propanol (PrOD), with an extremely basic solvent, the 5149 mol % NaOH/KOH eutectic mixture. This powerful deprotonating medium readily absorbs PrOD from the gas phase. Nearly all PrOD molecules that thermalize at the surface of the melt enter the liquid and dissolve for long times, most likely residing as PrO- after deprotonation by OH-. The PrO- solvation time is controlled by dissolved H2O, which reprotonates the anion and liberates D --> H exchanged PrOH. We find no evidence for decomposition of the alcohol; at the 463 K temperature of the experiments, the hydroxide solution appears to store propanol reversibly.
