Abstract

Cryogenic ion vibrational spectroscopy was used in combination with electronic structure calculations to identify the active site in the oxygen atom transfer reaction [AlVO₄]^+.+CO→[AlVO₃]^+.+CO₂. Infrared photodissociation spectra of messenger‐tagged heteronuclear clusters demonstrate that in contrast to [AlVO₄]^+., [AlVO₃]^+. is devoid of a terminal Al−O_t unit while the terminal V=O_t group remains intact. Thus it is the Al−O_t moiety that forms the active site in the [AlVO_x]^+./CO/N₂O (x=3, 4) redox couples, which is in line with theoretical predictions.
