Description
Summary:Here, we show that molecular N 2 was efficiently captured by organic arylium cations in a well-defined manner at ambient pressure and temperature, which was monitored by on-line mass spectrometry analysis. A kinetic picture was proposed to disclose the principle of the ion-molecule reaction behavior for exclusive aryldiazonium production. The observation has an implication for direct nitrogen fixation into an organic framework via the intermediacy of such cationic species. N 2 molecules are effectively captured by arylium cations generated via plasma discharge of arlyhalides at ambient pressure and temperature, exclusively producing relatively stable aryldiazaonium in a well-defined ion-molecule association manner.
