Abstract

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.
