Collision-assisted stripping for determination of microsolvation-dependent protonation sites in hydrated clusters by cryogenic ion trap infrared spectroscopy: the case of benzocaineH+(H2O)n‡
Literature Information
Fuad Haddad
The protonation site of molecules can be varied by their surrounding environment. Gas-phase studies, including the popular techniques of infrared spectroscopy and ion mobility spectrometry, are a powerful tool for the determination of protonation sites in solvated clusters but often suffer from inherent limits for larger hydrated clusters. Here, we present collision-assisted stripping infrared (CAS-IR) spectroscopy as a new technique to overcome these problems and apply it in a proof-of-principle experiment to hydrated clusters of protonated benzocaine (H+BC), which shows protonation-site switching depending on the degree of hydration. The most stable protomer of H+BC in the gas phase (O-protonated) is interconverted into its most stable protomer in aqueous solution (N-protonated) upon hydration with three water molecules. CAS-IR spectroscopy enables us to unambiguously assign protonation sites and quantitatively determine the relative abundance of various protomers.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
