Carbon Dioxide and Water Activation by Niobium Trioxide Anions in the Gas Phase.

ABSTRACT: Transition metals are important in various industrial applications including catalysis. Due to the current concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere, various ways for its capture and utilization are investigated. Here, we study the activation of CO₂ and H₂O at [NbO₃]^- in the gas phase using a combination of infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. In the experiments, Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry is combined with tunable IR laser light provided by the intracavity free-electron laser FELICE or optical parametric oscillator-based table-top laser systems. We present spectra of [NbO₃]^-, [NbO₂(OH)₂]^-, [NbO<
