Abstract
Copper-catalysed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) has been considered a breakthrough transformation over the last 15 years. Its debated mechanism arouses continuously growing interest. By means of a mass spectrometer modified ad hoc, the entire catalytic cycle of CuAAC reaction has been investigated in the gas phase. Ion-molecule reactions were performed inside the mass spectrometer to reproduce step-by-step, at a molecular level, the complete catalytic cycle of the click reaction. We successfully challenged the reactivity of elusive mono- and bis-copper intermediates by ion-molecule reactions leading to the production of mass-characterized triazole products, paving the way for detailed energetic studies to be performed in the gas phase. The structures of the relevant species, calculated at a DFT level, helped rationalise our experimental results.

Abstract
The rhenium dioxide anion [ReO2](-) reacts with carbon dioxide in a linear ion trap mass spectrometer to produce [ReO3](-) corresponding to activation and cleavage of a C-O bond. Isotope labeling experiments using [Re(18)O2](-) reveal that (18)O/(16)O scrambling does not occur prior to cleavage of the C-O bond. Density functional theory calculations were performed to examine the mechanism for this oxygen atom abstraction reaction. Because the spins of the ground states are different for the reactant and product ions ((3)[ReO2](-) versus (1)[ReO3](-)), both reaction surfaces were examined in detail and multiple [O2Re-CO2](-) intermediates and transition structures were located and minimum energy crossing points were calculated. The computational results show that the intermediate [O2Re(η(2)-C,O-CO2)](-) species most likely initiates C-O bond activation and cleavage. The stronger binding affinity of CO2 within this species and the greater instabilities of other [O2Re-CO2)](-) intermediates are significant enough that oxygen atom exchange is avoided.
