Abstract
Using first principles methodology, we investigate the microsolvation of protonated benzene (BzH+), protonated coronene (CorH+) and protonated dodecabenzocoronene (DbcH+). Gas phase complexes of these small protonated polyaromatic hydrocarbons (H+PAHs) with mono-, di-, and tri-hydrated water molecules are considered. Their most stable forms are presented, where we discuss their structural, energetic aromaticity and IR and UV spectral features. In particular, we focus on the analysis of the bonding and various non-bonded interactions between these protonated aromatics and water clusters. The strength of non-bonded interactions is quantified and correlated with their electron density profiles. Furthermore, insights into the interfacial interactions and stability of these complexes were obtained through non-covalent index and symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT0) analyses. We also discuss the effects of the extension of the π aromatic cloud on the water solvation of these protonated aromatics. In particular, we extended our predictions for the S0 → S1 and S0 → T1 wavelength transitions of micro hydrated H+PAHs to deduce those of these species solvated in aqueous solution. The present findings should be useful for understanding, at the microscopic level, the effects of water interacting with H+PAHs, which are relevant for organic chemistry, astrochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, combustion and materials science.

Abstract
Protonated polycyclic aromatic nitrogen heterocycles (H+PANH) are prospective candidates that may contribute to interstellar unidentified infrared (UIR) emission bands because protonation enhances the relative intensities of the bands near 6.2, 7.7 and 8.6 μm, and the presence of the N atom induces a blue shift of the ring-stretching modes so that the spectra of H+PANH match better with the 6.2 μm feature in class-A UIR spectra. We report the infrared (IR) spectra of protonated isoquinoline (the 2-isoquinolinium cation, iso-C9H7NH+), its neutral counterpart (the 2-isoquinolinyl radical, iso-C9H7NH), and another mono-hydrogenated product (the 6-isoquinolinyl radical, 6-iso-HC9H7N), produced on the electron-bombardment of a mixture of isoquinoline (iso-C9H7N) with excess para-hydrogen (p-H2) during matrix deposition at 3.2 K. To generate additional isomers of hydrogenated isoquinoline, we irradiated iso-C9H7N/Cl2/p-H2 matrices at 365 nm to generate Cl atoms, followed by IR irradiation to generate H atoms via Cl + H2 (v = 1) → HCl + H; the H atoms thus generated reacted with iso-C9H7N. In addition to iso-C9H7NH and 6-iso-HC9H7N observed in the electron-bombardment experiments, we identified six additional hydrogenated isoquinoline species, 1-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 7- and 8-iso-HC9H7N, via their IR spectra; hydrogenation on the N atom and all available carbon atoms except for the two sharing carbon atoms on the fused ring was observed. Spectral groupings were achieved according to their behaviors after maintenance of the matrix in darkness and on secondary photolysis at various wavelengths. The assignments were supported via comparison of the experimental results with the vibrational wavenumbers and IR intensities of possible isomers predicted using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method. The implications in the identification of the UIR band are discussed.

Abstract
The para-hydrogen (p-H2) matrix-isolation technique has been scarcely used to record electronic absorption and emission spectra. It is expected that its small matrix shifts due to diminished molecular interactions and the softness of the lattice might be advantageous to help identify the carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands. In this article, we present infrared, fluorescence excitation, and dispersed fluorescence spectra of sumanene (C21H12), a bowl-shaped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and a fragment of C60, isolated in solid p-H2. The recorded vibrational wavenumbers from infrared and dispersed fluorescence agree with the scaled harmonic vibrational wavenumbers calculated with the B3PW91/6-311++G(2d,2p) and B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,2p) methods. The recorded fluorescence excitation spectra are consistent with the spectra of jet-cooled gas-phase C21H12 reported previously by Kunishige et al. We found a rather small matrix shift of 55 cm-1 for the S1-S0 electronic transition origin located at 27 888 cm-1. Vibrational wavenumbers associated with the S1 state of C21H12 inferred from the experimental spectrum can be assigned mostly to fundamental normal modes; they are in satisfactory agreement with scaled harmonic vibrational wavenumbers calculated at the TD-B3PW91/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of theory. Significantly more vibrational modes of the S1 state were identified as compared with those in the reported gas-phase work. The potential of p-H2 matrix-isolation spectroscopy to provide electronic excitation spectra suitable for comparison to astronomical observations is discussed by comparing the spectra of C21H12 isolated in solid p-H2 and in solid Ne, a matrix host commonly employed in astrochemistry.

Abstract
Large protonated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (H+PAH) and the corresponding nitrogen heterocycles (H+PANH) have been proposed as possible carriers of unidentified infrared (UIR) emission bands from galactic objects. The nitrogen atom in H+PANH is expected to induce a blue shift of the band associated with the CC-stretching mode of H+PAH near 6.3 μm so that their emission bands might agree better with the UIR band near 6.2 μm. We report the IR spectrum of protonated quinoline (1-quinolinium cation, C9H7NH+) and its neutral species (1-quinolinyl radical, C9H7NH) measured upon electron bombardment during the deposition of a mixture of quinoline (C9H7N) and para-hydrogen (p-H2) at 3.2 K, indicating that the protonation and hydrogenation occur mainly at the N atom site. Additional experiments on the irradiation of C9H7N/Cl2/p-H2 matrices at 365 nm to generate Cl atoms, followed by irradiation with IR light to generate H atoms via Cl + H2 (v = 1), were performed to induce the reaction H + C9H7N. This method proved to be efficient for hydrogenation reactions in solid p-H2; we identified, in addition to C9H7NH observed in electron-bombardment experiments, four radicals with hydrogenation at the C-atom site─3-, 4-, 7-, and 8-HC9H7N. Spectral assignments were achieved according to the behavior upon secondary photolysis and a comparison of experimental results with vibrational wavenumbers and IR intensities predicted with the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method. The observed lines at 1641.4, 1598.4, and 1562.0 cm-1 associated with the CC-stretching mode of C9H7NH+ are blue-shifted from those at 1618.7, 1580.8, 1556.7, and 1510.0 cm-1 of the corresponding protonated naphthalene (C10H9+).

Abstract
The isomers of monohydrogenated aniline (HC6H5NH2) are regarded as important intermediates in reduction reactions of aniline, but their spectral identification has been limited to electron paramagnetic resonance in an adamantane matrix. We report here infrared (IR) spectra of two least-energy isomers of HC6H5NH2, produced on electron bombardment during the deposition of a matrix of aniline and para-hydrogen at 3.2 K. The intensities of IR lines of HC6H5NH2 increased during maintenance of the electron-bombarded matrix in darkness for a prolonged period because of the neutralization of protonated aniline, H+C6H5NH2, by trapped electrons and further reactions between aniline and the unreacted hydrogen atoms that were produced during electron bombardment. The observed lines were grouped according to their behaviors on secondary photolysis with light at 520, 465, and 375 nm. On comparison of experimental spectra with quantum chemically predicted spectra for four possible isomers of HC6H5NH2, lines in one group were assigned to the most stable ortho-HC6H5NH2 and those in the other group were assigned to the secondmost stable para-HC6H5NH2. Their photolytic behaviors at varied wavelengths are consistent with predicted ultraviolet absorption bands. The mechanisms of formation of these isomers are discussed according to semiquantitative analysis.

Abstract
Hydrogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have been proposed to be carriers of the interstellar unidentified infrared (UIR) emission bands and the catalysts for formation of H2; spectral characterizations of these species are hence important. We report the infrared (IR) spectrum of mono-hydrogenated corannulene (HC20H10) in solid para-hydrogen (p-H2). In experiments of electron bombardment of a mixture of corannulene and p-H2 during deposition of a matrix at 3.2 K, two groups of spectral lines increased with time during maintenance of the matrix in darkness after deposition. Lines in one group were assigned to the most stable isomer of hydrogenated corannulene, rim-HC20H10, according to the expected chemistry and a comparison with scaled harmonic vibrational wavenumbers and IR intensities predicted with the B3PW91/6-311++G(2d,2p) method. The lines in the other group do not agree with predicted spectra of other HC20H10 isomers and remain unassigned. Alternative hydrogenation was achieved with H atoms produced photochemically in the infrared-induced reaction Cl + H2 (v = 1) → H + HCl in a Cl2/C20H10/p-H2 matrix. With this method, only lines attributable to rim-HC20H10 were observed, indicating that hydrogenation via a quantum-mechanical tunneling mechanism produces preferably the least-energy rim-HC20H10 regardless of similar barrier heights and widths for the formation of rim-HC20H10 and hub-HC20H10. The mechanisms of formation in both experiments are discussed. The bands near 3.3 and 3.4 µm of rim-HC20H10 agree with the UIR emission bands in position and relative intensity, but other bands do not match satisfactorily with the UIR bands.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and their derivatives are prospective carriers of unidentified infrared (UIR) emission features observed in interstellar media. Fluoranthene (C16H10) is a simple planar PAH with five- and six-membered rings; it can be considered as a fragment of C60, which, along with its cationic counterpart, has been identified in interstellar media. Protonated fluoranthene, C16H11+, was generated upon electron bombardment during deposition at 3.2 K of p-H2 containing fluoranthene in a small proportion. The intensities of infrared features of C16H11+ decreased after maintaining the matrix in darkness because of its neutralization with trapped electrons. According to the correlations in intensities upon neutralization and secondary photolysis, observed lines were classified into three groups which are assigned to isomers 3-C16H11+, 9-C16H11+, and 10-C16H11+. Experimental vibrational wavenumbers and relative IR intensities of the features agree with corresponding calculated values predicted for these three isomers of C16H11+ with the B3PW91/6-311++G(2d,2p) method. 3-C16H11+ and 9-C16H11+ are predicted to have the lowest energy (within 5 kJ mol-1), whereas 10- and 1-C16H11+ are lying above the global minimum 3-C16H11+ by ∼20 kJ mol-1. However, definitive identification of 1-C16H11+ could not be made as only the most intense line is tentatively assigned. Although the observed spectra of these isomers match unsatisfactorily with the UIR bands, they will facilitate the potential terrestrial and extraterrestrial identification of these species.

Abstract
As pyridine and its derivatives are regarded as building blocks of nitrogen-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, spectral identifications of their protonated and hydrogenated species are important. The infrared (IR) absorption spectra of the 3-hydroxy-(1H)-pyridinium cation, 3-C5H4(OH)NH+, and the 3-hydroxy-(1H)-pyridinyl radical, 3-C5H4(OH)NH, produced on electron bombardment during deposition of a mixture of 3-hydroxypyridine, 3-C5H4(OH)N, and para-H2 to form a matrix at 3.2 K were recorded. Intense IR absorption lines of trans-3-C5H4(OH)NH+ at 3594.4, 3380.0, 1610.6, 1562.2, 1319.4, 1193.8, 1167.5, and 780.4 cm-1 and eleven weaker ones decreased in intensity after the matrix was maintained in darkness for 20 h, whereas lines of trans-3-C5H4(OH)NH at 3646.2, 3493.4, 3488.7, 1546.7, 1349.6, 1244.1, 1209.1, 1177.3, 979.8, and 685.2 cm-1 and nine weaker ones increased. The intensities of lines of trans-3-C5H4(OH)NH decreased upon irradiation at 520 nm and diminished nearly completely upon irradiation at 450 nm, whereas those of trans-3-C5H4(OH)NH+ remained unchanged upon irradiation at 370, 450, and 520 nm. Observed vibrational wavenumbers and relative intensities of these species agree satisfactorily with the scaled harmonic vibrational wavenumbers and IR intensities predicted with the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ method. The observed 3-C5H4(OH)NH+ cation and 3-C5H4(OH)NH radical are predicted to be the most stable species among all possible isomers by quantum-chemical calculations.

Abstract
We report the infrared (IR) spectra of ovalene (C32H14) and hydrogenated ovalene (C32H15˙) in solid para-hydrogen (p-H2). The hydrogenated ovalene and protonated ovalene were generated from electron bombardment of a mixture of ovalene and p-H2 during deposition of a matrix at 3.2 K. The features that decreased with time have been previously assigned to 7-C32H15+, the most stable isomer of protonated ovalene (Astrophys. J., 2016, 825, 96). The spectral features that increased with time are assigned to the most stable isomer of hydrogenated ovalene (7-C32H15˙) based on the expected chemistry and on a comparison with the vibrational wavenumbers and IR intensities predicted by the B3PW91/6-311++G(2d,2p) method. The mechanism of formation of 7-C32H15˙ is discussed according to the observed changes in intensity and calculated energetics of possible reactions of H + C32H14 and isomerization of C32H15˙. The formation of 7-C32H15˙ is dominated by the reaction H + C32H14 → 7-C32H15˙, implying that, regardless of the presence of a barrier, the hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons occurs even at 3.2 K.

Abstract
The reaction of H + phenol and H/D + toluene has been studied in a supersonic expansion after electric discharge. The (1 + 1') resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectra of the reaction products, at m/z = parent + 1, or parent + 2 amu, were measured by scanning the first (resonance) laser. The resulting spectra are highly structured. Ionization energies were measured by scanning the second (ionization) laser, while the first laser was tuned to a specific transition. Theoretical calculations, benchmarked to the well-studied H + benzene → cyclohexadienyl radical reaction, were performed. The spectrum arising from the reaction of H + phenol is attributed solely to the ortho-hydroxy-cyclohexadienyl radical, which was found in two conformers (syn and anti). Similarly, the reaction of H/D + toluene formed solely the ortho isomer. The preference for the ortho isomer at 100-200 K in the molecular beam is attributed to kinetic, not thermodynamic effects, caused by an entrance channel barrier that is ∼5 kJ mol(-1) lower for ortho than for other isomers. Based on these results, we predict that the reaction of H + phenol and H + toluene should still favour the ortho isomer under elevated temperature conditions in the early stages of combustion (200-400 °C).

Abstract
Proton-bound rare-gas dimer (RgHRg)(+), in which Rg represents a rare-gas atom, serves as a prototypical system for proton solvation by inert-gas atoms. Until now, only centrosymmetric species with Rg = Ar, Kr, or Xe have been identified with infrared spectra. We employed electron bombardment during deposition of a mixture of Xe (or Kr) in p-H2 at 3.2 K to prepare (RgHRg)(+). Lines at 847.0 and 972.1 cm(-1) are assigned as the Rg-H-Rg antisymmetric stretching (ν3) mode and its combination with the Rg-H-Rg symmetric stretching (ν1 + ν3) mode of (XeHXe)(+) in solid p-H2, respectively. Lines at 871.1 and 974.0 cm(-1) are assigned as the ν3 and ν1 + ν3 modes of (KrHKr)(+) in solid p-H2, respectively. Slightly shifted and broadened lines were observed for these species in solid n-H2. These results agree satisfactorily with reported experimental values of (XeHXe)(+) and (KrHKr)(+) in solid Xe, Kr, and Ar, and with the quantum-chemically predicted anharmonic vibrational wavenumbers of these species in the gaseous phase; the significant spectral shifts in various matrixes are rationalized with the proton affinities of the hosts. When a mixture of Xe and Kr in p-H2 was used, an additional broad feature at 1284 cm(-1) was observed and assigned as the ν3 mode of (KrHXe)(+) in solid p-H2. This line shifted to 1280 cm(-1) in solid n-H2 and the corresponding line of (KrDXe)(+) was observed at 954 cm(-1) in n-D2. The observations of these lines are new; the wavenumbers significantly blue shifted from those of the centrosymmetric (RgHRg)(+) agree with the quantum-chemically predicted anharmonic vibrational wavenumbers of 1279 cm(-1) for (KrHXe)(+) and 916 cm(-1) for (KrDXe)(+). Analysis of the computational results shows that electronic correlation effects play a much greater role for the asymmetric than for the symmetric species. An interpretation for this is provided.

Abstract
Protonated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (H(+)PAHs) have been reported to have infrared (IR) bands at wavenumbers near those of unidentified infrared (UIR) emission bands from interstellar objects. We produced 1-C16H11(+) and 1-C16H11 upon electron bombardment during matrix deposition of p-H2 containing pyrene (C16H10) in a small proportion. Intensities of absorption features of 1-C16H11(+) decreased after the matrix was maintained in darkness or irradiated with light at 365 nm, whereas those of 1-C16H11 increased. The observed line wavenumbers and relative intensities of 1-C16H11(+) and 1-C16H11 agree satisfactorily with the scaled vibrational wavenumbers and IR intensities predicted with the B3PW91/6-311++G(2d,2p) method. Our method, being relatively clean with negligible fragmentation, is applicable to larger H(+)PAH; it has the advantages of producing excellent IR spectra covering a broad spectral range with narrow lines and accurate intensities, so that structural identification among various isomers is feasible.
