摘要 (Abstract)：
The radiolysis of water is ubiquitous in nature and plays a critical role in numerous biochemical and technological applications. While the elementary reaction pathways for the ionization of water have been studied, the short-lived intermediate complex and structural dynamic response after the proton transfer reaction remain poorly understood. Using liquid-phase ultrafast electron diffraction technique to measure the intermolecular O··O and O··H bonds, we capture the short-lived radical-cation complex OH(H3O+) that is formed within 140 femtoseconds through a direct oxygen-oxygen bond contraction and proton transfer, followed by the radical-cation pair dissociation and the subsequent structural relaxation of water within 250 femtoseconds. These measurements provide direct evidence of capturing this metastable radical-cation complex before separation, thereby improving our fundamental understanding of elementary reaction dynamics in ionized liquid water.
