A σ and not a π complex has been identified for the prototypical arenium intermediate, protonated benzene. The activation of the infrared multiphoton dissociation of C 6 H 7 + ions (obtained by the gas‐phase protonation of benzene) by the absorption of free electron laser radiation shows a wavelength‐dependent dissociation of H 2 (see spectrum) that matches the transitions calculated for the σ complex benzenium ion.
