DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c10032
Abstract: Unlike the inertness of bulk water, water microdroplets exhibit some remarkable reactivities. We report that water microdroplets can directly produce stable C7H7+ cations (a combination of benzylic and tropylium cations) from toluene and other substrates… read more here.
