IR photofragmentation of the Phenyl Cation: Spectroscopy and Fragmentation Pathways

S. D. Wiersma, A. Candian, J. M. Bakker +5

We present the gas-phase infrared spectra of the phenyl cation, phenylium, in its perprotio C${}_6$H${}_5^{+}$ and perdeutero C${}_6$D${}_5^{+}$ forms, in the 260-1925 cm${}^{-1}$ (5.2-38 $\mu$m)…
