Abstract
In this work, earlier studies reporting α‐H2CO3 are revised. The cryo‐technique pioneered by Hage, Hallbrucker, and Mayer (HHM) is adapted to supposedly prepare carbonic acid from KHCO3. In methanolic solution, methylation of the salt is found, which upon acidification transforms to the monomethyl ester of carbonic acid (CAME, HO‐CO‐OCH3). Infrared spectroscopy data both of the solid at 210 K and of the evaporated molecules trapped and isolated in argon matrix at 10 K are presented. The interpretation of the observed bands on the basis of carbonic acid [as suggested originally by HHM in their publications from 1993–1997 and taken over by Winkel et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007 and Bernard et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011] is inferior compared with the interpretation on the basis of CAME. The assignment relies on isotope substitution experiments, including deuteration of the OH‐ and CH3‐ groups as well as 12C and 13C isotope exchange and on variation of the solvents in both preparation steps. The interpretation of the single molecule spectroscopy experiments is aided by a comprehensive calculation of high‐level ab initio frequencies for gas‐phase molecules and clusters in the harmonic approximation. This analysis provides evidence for the existence of not only single CAME molecules but also CAME dimers and water complexes in the argon matrix. Furthermore, different conformational CAME isomers are identified, where conformational isomerism is triggered in experiments through UV irradiation. In contrast to earlier studies, this analysis allows explanation of almost every single band of the complex spectra in the range between 4000 and 600 cm−1.

Abstract
A reliable synthesis of unstable and highly reactive BrO2F is reported. This compound can be converted into BrO2+SbF6−, BrO2+AsF6−, and BrO2+AsF6−⋅2 BrO2F. The latter decomposes into mixed‐valent Br3O4⋅Br2+AsF6− with five‐, three‐, one‐, and zero‐valent bromine. BrO2+ H(SO3CF3)2− is formed with HSO3CF3. Excess BrO2F yields mixed‐valent Br3O6+OSO3CF3− with five‐ and three‐valent bromine. Reactions of BrO2F and MoF5 in SO2ClF or CH2ClF result in Cl2BrO6+Mo3O3F13−. The reaction of BrO2F with (CF3CO)2O and NO2 produces O2Br‐O‐CO‐CF3 and the known NO2+Br(ONO2)2−. All of these compounds are thermodynamically unstable.

Abstract
![]()
Rotational–vibrational
spectroscopy of water in solid noble
gas matrices has been studied for many decades. Despite that, discrepancies
persist in the literature about the assignment of specific bands.
We tackle the involved rotational–vibrational spectrum of the
water isotopologues H216O, HD16O,
and D216O with an unprecedented combination
of experimental high-resolution matrix isolation infrared (MI-IR)
spectroscopy and computational anharmonic vibrational spectroscopy
by vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) on high-level ab initio
potential energy surfaces. With VCI, the average deviation to gas-phase
experiments is reduced from >100 to ≈1 cm–1 when compared to harmonic vibrational spectra. Discrepancies between
MI-IR and VCI spectra are identified as matrix effects rather than
missing anharmonicity in the theoretical approach. Matrix effects
are small in Ne (≈1.5 cm–1) and a bit larger
in Ar (≈10 cm–1). Controversial assignments
in Ne MI-IR spectra are resolved, for example, concerning the ν3 triad in HDO. We identify new transitions, for example, the
ν2 101 ← 110 transition
in D2O and H2O or the ν3 000 ← 101 transition in D2O, and
reassign bands, for example, the band at 3718.9 cm–1 that is newly assigned as the 110 ← 111 transition. The identification and solution of discrepancies for
a well-studied benchmark system such as water prove the importance
of an iterative and one-hand combination of theory and experiment
in the field of high-resolution infrared spectroscopy of single molecules.
As the computational costs involved in the VCI approach are reasonably
low, such combined experimental/theoretical studies can be extended
to molecules larger than triatomics.

Abstract
The monoesters of carbonic acid are deemed to be unstable and decompose to alcohol and carbon dioxide. In spite of this, we here report the isolation of the elusive carbonic acid monoethyl ester (CAEE) as a pure solid from ethanolic solutions of potassium bicarbonate. The hemiester is surprisingly stable in acidic solution and does not experience hydrolysis to carbonic acid. Furthermore, it is also stable in the gas phase, which we demonstrate by subliming the hemiester without decomposition. This could not be achieved in the past for any hemiester of carbonic acid. In the gas phase the hemiester experiences conformational isomerism at 210 K. Interestingly, the thermodynamically favored conformation is only reached for the torsional movement of the terminal ethyl group, but not the terminal hydrogen atom on the millisecond time scale. Accordingly, IR spectra of the gas phase trapped in an argon matrix are best explained on the basis of a 5 : 1 mixture of monomeric conformers. Our findings necessitate reevaluation of claims of the formation of a carbonic acid polymorph in methanolic solution, which is the subject of a forthcoming publication.

Abstract
Twenty years ago two different polymorphs of carbonic acid, α- and β-H2CO3, were isolated as thin, crystalline films. They were characterized by infrared and, of late, by Raman spectroscopy. Determination of the crystal structure of these two polymorphs, using cryopowder and thin film X-ray diffraction techniques, has failed so far. Recently, we succeeded in sublimating α-H2CO3 and trapping the vapor phase in a noble gas matrix, which was analyzed by infrared spectroscopy. In the same way we have now investigated the β-polymorph. Unlike α-H2CO3, β-H2CO3 was regarded to decompose upon sublimation. Still, we have succeeded in isolation of undecomposed carbonic acid in the matrix and recondensation after removal of the matrix here. This possibility of sublimation and recondensation cycles of β-H2CO3 adds a new aspect to the chemistry of carbonic acid in astrophysical environments, especially because there is a direct way of β-H2CO3 formation in space, but none for α-H2CO3. Assignments of the FTIR spectra of the isolated molecules unambiguously reveal two different carbonic acid monomer conformers (C(2v) and C(s)). In contrast to the earlier study on α-H2CO3, we do not find evidence for centrosymmetric (C(2h)) carbonic acid dimers here. This suggests that two monomers are entropically favored at the sublimation temperature of 250 K for β-H2CO3, whereas they are not at the sublimation temperature of 210 K for α-H2CO3.
