- Abstract
- The ion-molecule chemistry of C3H3+ is systematically investigated with a series of alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic molecules under low-pressure, room temperature conditions. Based upon their reactivity differences, two C3H3+ structures are distinguished and are assigned as the cyclic (the most stable) and linear isomers.
