Abstract:
Mechanistic aspects of an unusual reaction of HoC6H4S]+ with CH3X (X=Cl, Br, I) have been investigated using Fourier‐transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this thermal process, all four bonds of the methyl halides are cleaved.
