Proof positive : Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy, with the tunable IR radiation of a free‐electron laser source, provides positive identification of alkoxide adducts of 1,3,5‐trinitrobenzene as prototypical anionic σ complexes in the gas phase (see calculated IR spectrum of 1 under the experimental IRMPD spectrum; N blue, O green, C gray, H light gray).
