Abstract: 1,2-Ethenediols are deemed key intermediates in prebiotic and interstellar syntheses of carbohydrates. Here we present the gas-phase synthesis of these enediols, the high-energy tautomers of glycolaldehyde, trapped in cryogenic argon matrices. Importantly, upon photolysis at… read more here.
