Complex detection: Gas-phase protonated carbonic acid, C(OH)3+ (1), and its isomeric H3O+⋅CO2 complex (2) were spectroscopically identified for the first time by resonant IR photodissociation spectroscopy of their Ar-tagged adducts (see picture). This identification represents an important step toward understanding the precise role of protonated carbonic acid in CO2 hydrolysis and related processes.
