Popis: The present study reports the first structural characterization of protonated cyameluric acid ([CA + H]+) in the gas phase, which paves the way for prospective bottom-up research on the condensed-phase chemistry of CA in the protonated form. A number of [CA + H]+ keto-enol isomers can a priori be produced as a result of protonation at available N and O positions of precursor neutral CA tautomers, yet ab initio computations predict different reduced [CA + H]+ isomer populations dominating the solution and gas phases that are involved in the ion generation process (i.e., electrospray ionization). Infrared multiple photon dissociation spectra were recorded in the 990-1900 and 3300-3650 cm-1 regions and compared with theoretical [B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)] IR absorption spectra of several [CA + H]+ isomers, providing a satisfactory agreement for the most stable monohydroxy form in the gas phase, [1358a]+, yet the contribution of its nearly isoenergetic OH rotamer, [1358b]+, cannot be neglected. This is indicative of the occurrence of [CA + H]+ isomer interconversion reactions, assisted by protic solvent molecules, during their transfer into the gas phase. The results suggest that available O positions on neutral CA are energetically favored protonation sites in the gas phase.
