Predicted stabilities of monatomic anions in water and liquid ammonia at 298.15 K

Critically evaluated experimental and theoretical atomic electron affinities are assembled and used to derive thermodynamic properties of gas-phase monatomic anions throughout the Periodic Table. The stabilities (as ΔGof) of these anions in water and liquid ammonia are calculated by a semiempirical electrostatic model. The predictions are compared with experimental observations where possible.
