Gas-phase synthesis of the rare-gas carbene cation ArCH2+ using doubly ionised bromomethane as a superelectrophilic reagent

Daniela Ascenzi, Paolo Tosi, Jana Roithová and Detlef Schröder

The bimolecular reaction of mass-selected CH3Br2+/CH2BrH2+ dications with argon leads to the rare-gas carbene cation ArCH2+, which represents an example of a new kind of organo rare-gas compound.
