REVIEWS
The Infrared Predissociation Spectrum of H3+. Alan Carrington and Iain R. McNab Acc. Chem. Res. 1989, 22, 218-222.
The account presents a very nice discussion of the H3+ cation. The cation is made in an energetically excited state. The IR quanta are then used to add even more energy to the cation. All in all the cation ends up with more energy than is necessary for dissociation. Eventually it will dissociate and the rate of that fragmentation is used to determine the intensity of the IR absorption. Pretty cool stuff! A scan in the region between 872 and 1094 cm-1 contained 26,500 lines (!) and the spectrum taking took some 2,500 hours (!). How is that for complexity.
