Recent work suggests that certain reactions of anions with neutral molecules that require activation in solution lead exothermically and without activation to adducts in the gas phase, implying that the activation barriers in solution are due entirely to the energy needed to desolvate the anion and explaining differences from ‘normal’ reactions where the activation barriers are intrinsic.
