Changing the state : The electrophilicity of benzhydryl cations (see formula) towards neutral amine nucleophiles in the gas phase was determined. It was found that the kinetics of electrophile–nucleophile gas‐phase reactions correlate well with values known in solution although the actual electrophilicity parameters are considerably smaller in the gas phase.
