Abstract

The elusive protonated oxygen, O$_2$H$^+$, has been characterized _x000d_ by vibrational action spectroscopy in a cryogenic 22-pole ion trap. On the one hand, the vibrational bands of the tagged He--O$_2$H$^+$ have been investigated, using a table-top OPO system for the known OH-stretch$^a$, whereas the FELIX$^b$ light source has been used to detect the hitherto unknown low-frequency O-O-H bend and O-O stretch._x000d_ On the other hand, the untagged O$_2$H$^+$ has been detected _x000d_ for the first time by high-resolution rovibrational spectroscopy_x000d_ via its $nu_1$ OH-stretch motion._x000d_ 38 ro-vibrational fine structure transitions with partly resolved hyperfine satellites were measured (56 resolved lines in total). _x000d_ Spectroscopic parameters were determined by a fit to an asymmetric rotor model with a $^3A''$ electronic ground state. _x000d_ The band center is at 3016.73~wn, which is in good _x000d_ agreement with experimental$^a$ and {it ab initio}$^{c,d}$ predictions. Based on the spectroscopic parameters, the rotational spectrum is predicted, but not detected yet. \_x000d_ _x000d_ noindent_x000d_ $^a$ S. A. Nizkorodov et al., Chem. Phys.
