Gas‐Phase Reactions The thermal reaction of [Ho(CH 2 S)] + with toluene giving rise to [C 6 H 5 CHSHo] + and CH 4 was investigated using Fourier‐transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT‐ICR) mass spectrometry complemented by DFT calculations. The relatively low capability of “bare” Ho + to activate C−H bonds has been attributed to the relatively high promotion energy necessary for Ho + to attain a 4f 10 5d 1 6s 1 configuration as well as the low BDE s(Ho + −H). In their Communication on page 4336 ff., H. Schwarz and co‐workers provide an alternative strategy in which Ho + does function in the activation of toluene.
