Observation of different reactivities of para and ortho-water towards trapped diazenylium ions

Observation of different reactivities of para and ortho-water towards trapped diazenylium ions

Water molecules exist as two distinct nuclear-spin isomers denoted ortho and para. Here, the authors separate these two isomers in the gas phase to show that they exhibit different reactivities in a prototypical proton-transfer reaction.
