Infrared Spectroscopy of Au+(CH4) n Complexes and Vibrationally-Enhanced C-H Activation Reactions
{{output}}
A combined spectroscopic and computational study of gas-phase Au+(CH4) n (n = 3-8) complexes reveals a strongly-bound linear Au+(CH4)2 core structure to which up to four additional ligands bind in a secondary coordination shell. Infrared resonance-enhanced pho... ...
