The ionisation-induced π → H site switching reaction in clusters of phenol solvated by rare gas ligands, PhOH–Rgn(Rg = Ar and Kr,n= 1–3), is characterised by electron impact infrared (EI–IR) photodissociation as well as nanosecond and picosecond time-resolved UV–UV–IR spectroscopy. The EI–IR spectra of the PhOH+–Rg dimers demonstrate that the H-bound isomer is the most stable structure in the ground electronic state of the cation, in which the Rg atom forms a hydrogen bond to the OH group of PhOH+. The π-bound structure, in which the Rg ligand is attached to the aromatic ring, is also weakly detected as a less stable structure in the EI–IR spectrum. The IR spectra of the PhOH+–Rg dimers change drastically, when the cluster cations are generated by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI). The metastable π-bound structure becomes the major species and dominates the population. The picosecond time-resolved REMPI–IR spectra clearly demonstrate the initial population of the π-bound structure by ionisation, the subsequent π → H site switching to the H-bound site, and the eventual formation of an π/H equilibrium population by the H → π back reaction. Classically, this intermolecular π ↔ H structural rearrangment corresponds to a pendular motion of Rg atom around PhOH+. The π → H switching dynamics is sensitively affected by the addition of one or more Rg ligands with respect to the reaction mechanism and the rate constants. In larger PhOH+–Rgnclusters (n≥ 2), the initially populated π-bound structure is completely converted into the H-bound structure by a one-way single-step reaction with a single exponential decay on the picosecond timescale. This principal change in the reaction mechanism is rationalised by efficient intermolecular vibrational energy redistribution from the reaction coordinate to modes of the available spectator ligand(s), which completely quenches the H → π back reaction forn≥ 2. Structures, energetics and dynamics of this π-H site switching, along with a quantum chemical description based on wavepacket dynamics are discussed. Significantly, these spectroscopic experiments for PhOH+–Rgnrepresent the first time-resolved studies of intermolecular rearrangment reactions in molecular clusters.
