A precise jab to methane: The SO2+ radical cation effectively activates CH4 at room temperature through a [H3CHOSO+] methyl intermediate isolated in the gas phase by mass spectrometry. Methanol and ionized methyl hydrogen sulfoxylate, CH3OSOH+, are formed by selective, direct attack of the incipient methyl radical at the O atom of the intermediate. The reaction shows radical and charge effects in the activation of methane by metal-free radical cation.

Abstract

A precise jab to methane: The SO2+ radical cation effectively activates CH4 at room temperature through a [H3CHOSO+] methyl intermediate isolated in the gas phase by mass spectrometry. Methanol and ionized methyl hydrogen sulfoxylate, CH3OSOH+, are formed by selective, direct attack of the incipient methyl radical at the O atom of the intermediate. The reaction shows radical and charge effects in the activation of methane by metal-free radical cation.
