Abstract
The gas-phase clusters reaction permits addressing fundamental aspects of the challenges related to C-H activation. The size effect plays a key role in the activation processes as it may substantially affect both the reactivity and selectivity. In this paper, we reviewed the size effect related to the hydrocarbon oxidation by early transition metal oxides and main group metal oxides, methane activation mediated by late transition metals. Based on mass-spectrometry experiments in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations, mechanistic discussions were reviewed to present how and why the size greatly regulates the reactivity and product distribution.

Abstract
The reactivity of the molybdenum oxide cluster anion (MoO3 )5 O- , bearing an unpaired electron at a bridging oxygen atom (Ob .- ), towards methane under thermal collision conditions has been studied by mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations. This reaction follows the mechanism of hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and is facilitated by the Ob .- radical center. The reactivity of (MoO3 )5 O- can be traced back to the appropriate orientation of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) that is essentially the 2p orbital of the Ob .- atom. This study not only makes up the blank of thermal methane activation by the Ob .- radical on negatively charged clusters but also yields new insights into methane activation by the atomic oxygen radical anions.

Abstract
The products of methane dehydrogenation by gas‐phase Ta4+ clusters are structurally characterized using infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations. The obtained spectra of [4Ta,C,2H]+ reveal a dominance of vibrational bands of a H2Ta4C+ carbide dihydride structure over those indicative for a HTa4CH+ carbyne hydride one, as is unambiguously verified by studies employing various methane isotopologues. Because methane dehydrogenation by metal cations M+ typically leads to the formation of either MCH2+ carbene or HMCH+ carbyne hydride structures, the observation of a H2MC+ carbide dihydride structure implies that it is imperative to consider this often‐neglected class of carbonaceous intermediates in the reaction of metals with hydrocarbons.

Abstract
Photoassisted steam reforming and dry (CO2 ) reforming of methane (SRM and DRM) at room temperature with high syngas selectivity have been achieved in the gas-phase catalysis for the first time. The catalysts used are bimetallic rhodium-vanadium oxide cluster anions of Rh2 VO1-3 - . Both the oxidation of methane and reduction of H2 O/CO2 can take place efficiently in the dark while the pivotal step to govern syngas selectivity is photo-excitation of the reaction intermediates Rh2 VO2,3 CH2 - to specific electronically excited states that can selectively produce CO and H2 . Electronic excitation over Rh2 VO2,3 CH2 - to control the syngas selectivity is further confirmed from the comparison with the thermal excitation of Rh2 VO2,3 CH2 - , which leads to diversity of products. The atomic-level mechanism obtained from the well-controlled cluster reactions provides insight into the process of selective syngas production from the photocatalytic SRM and DRM reactions over supported metal oxide catalysts.

Abstract
Direct conversion of methane with carbon dioxide to value-added chemicals is attractive but extremely challenging because of the thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of both molecules. Herein, the first dinuclear cluster species, RhVO3 - , has been designed to mediate the co-conversion of CH4 and CO2 to oxygenated products, CH3 OH and CH2 O, in the temperature range of 393-600 K. The resulting cluster ions RhVO3 CO- after CH3 OH formation can further desorb the [CO] unit to regenerate the RhVO3 - cluster, leading to the successful establishment of a catalytic cycle for methanol production from CH4 and CO2 (CH4 +CO2 →CH3 OH+CO). The exceptional activity of Rh-V dinuclear oxide cluster (RhVO3 - ) identified herein provides a new mechanism for co-conversion of two very stable molecules CH4 and CO2 .

Abstract
Mass spectrometric analysis of the anionic products of interaction between platinum atomic anions, Pt- , and methane, CH4 and CD4 , in a collision cell shows the preferred generation of [PtCH4 ]- and [PtCD4 ]- complexes and a low tendency toward dehydrogenation. [PtCH4 ]- is shown to be H-Pt-CH3 - by a synergy between anion photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations, implying the rupture of a single C-H bond. The calculated reaction pathway accounts for the observed selective activation of methane by Pt- . This study presents the first example of methane activation by a single atomic anion.

Abstract
Cryogenic ion trap vibrational spectroscopy paired with quantum chemistry currently represents the most generally applicable approach for the structural investigation of gaseous cluster ions that are not amenable to direct absorption spectroscopy. Here, we give an overview of the most popular variants of infrared action spectroscopy and describe the advantages of using cryogenic ion traps in combination with messenger tagging and vibrational predissociation spectroscopy. We then highlight a few recent studies that apply this technique to identify highly reactive ionic intermediates and to characterize their reactive sites. We conclude by commenting on future challenges and potential developments in the field.

Abstract
The use of CH4 and CO2 to produce value-added chemicals via direct C-C coupling is a challenging chemistry problem because of the inertness of these two molecules. Herein, mass spectrometric experiments and high-level quantum-chemical calculations have identified the first diatomic species (CuB+ ) that can couple CH4 with CO2 under thermal collision conditions to produce ketene (H2 C=C=O), an important intermediate in synthetic chemistry. The order to feed the reactants (CH4 and CO2 ) is important and CH4 should be firstly fed to produce the C2 product. Molecular-level mechanisms including control of product selectivity have been revealed for coupling of CH4 with CO2 under mild conditions.

Abstract
Carbenes of platinum and palladium, PtC3 and PdC3 , were generated in the gas phase through laser vaporization of a metal target in the presence of a low concentration of a hydrocarbon precursor undergoing supersonic expansion. Rotational spectroscopy and ab initio calculations confirm that both molecules are linear. The geometry of PtC3 was accurately determined by fitting to the experimental moments of inertia of twenty-six isotopologues. The results are consistent with the proposal of an autogenic isolobal relationship between O, Au(+) , and Pt atoms.
