Abstract
A combination of experimental data and theoretical calculations has been used to estimate the electron affinities of simple primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals and the proton affinities of the corresponding anions. With the exception of cyclopropyl, such "carbanions" are indicated to be unstable towards loss of an electron and are not expected to exist as long-lived species in the gas phase.
