Unusual Confinement-Induced Basicity and Proton-Mediated CH Activity of an Adipic Acid-Ammonium Cluster

Abstract: Organic acids play an important role in atmospheric chemistry, particularly in the formation of aerosol particles. Here we explore the reactivity of adipic acid, an analogue to the alpha-pinene oxidation product pinic acid, upon complexation with ammonium. Collision-induced dissociation mass spectra and mass-selective vibrational spectra show that relatively mild activation, consistent with breaking hydrogen bonds, yields (adipic acid)H+ and neutral ammonia. This is consistent with a higher proton affinity for… Show more
