Protonated water-hydrogen clusters [H+(H2O)(n)center dot m(H-2)] can be produced at room temperature through the association of protonated water clusters H+(H2O)(n) with H-2 gas, without any cooling necessary. A proposed mechanism for the formation of the protonated water-hydrogen complexes.
Protonated water-hydrogen clusters [H+(H2O)(n)center dot m(H-2)] present an interesting model for fundamental water research, but their formation and isolation presents considerable experimental challenges. Here, we report the detection of [H+(H2O)(n)center dot m(H-2)] (2 <= n <= 3, m <= 2) clusters alongside protonated water clusters H+(H2O)(n) (2 <= n <= 3) in a linear ion trap mass spectrometer under two different experimental conditions: (1) when water vapor was ionized by +5.5 kV ambient corona discharge in front of the mass spectrometer inlet; (2) when isolated H+(H2O)(n) clusters were exposed to H-2 gas inside the linear trap. Chemical assignment of [H+(H2O)(n)center dot m(H-2)] clusters was confirmed using reference experiments with isotopically labeled water and deuterium. Also, the formation of H-2 gas in the corona discharge area was indicated by a flame test. Overall, our findings clearly indicate that [H+(H2O)(n)center dot m(H-2)] clusters can be produced at room temperature through the association of protonated water clusters H+(H2O)(n) with H-2 gas, without any cooling necessary. A mechanism for the formation of the protonated water-hydrogen complexes was proposed. Our results also suggest that the association of water ions with H-2 gas may play a notable role in corona discharge ionization processes, such as atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, and may be partially responsible for the stabilization of reactive radical species occasionally reported in corona discharge ionization experiments.
