Application of gas phase cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy to characterize the CO2, CO, N2 and N2O interactions with the open coordination site on a Ni(I) macrocycle using dual cryogenic ion traps
Complex formation with two temperature-controlled RF ion traps. Small molecule activation by docking to an open coordination site of a Ni(I) compound. Mass selective vibrational predissociation spectroscopy reveals distortions of. Proof of the asymmetric nature of the CO2 binding motif by isotopic labeling.
