Summary 1. The ionization potentials of a series of para-substituted tert-butylbenzenes, and the appearance potentials of the α,α-dimethylbenzene cations formed on their fragmentation, have been measured. 2. From the results for appearance potentials, enthalpies of formation of substituted α,α-dimethylbenzyl cations in the gas phase and the heat effect of the isodesmic reactions have been determined. 3. Electron-accepting substituents affect the relative stability of para-substituted α,α-dimethylbenzyl cations in the gas phase more strongly than electron donors.
