Photofragment studies of carbon-oxygen and carbon-hydrogen bond activation by transition metal cations
Gas-phase transition metal cations can activate C-C and C-H bonds in hydrocarbons at room temperature. They can even activate C-O bonds in CO2. They thus serve as a relatively simple model for C-C and C-H activating catalysts. A better understanding of the crucial steps and a complete characterizati...
