The dinuclear metal dioxide Ni 2 O 2 + is prepared by the reaction of gaseous Ni 2 + with N 2 O in a Fourier‐transform ion‐cyclotron‐resonance (FT‐ICR) mass spectrometer. The title compound oxidizes CO, thus proving the catalytic activity of Ni 2 + for mediating oxygen‐atom transfer from N 2 O to CO. Whereas Ni 2 O 2 + does not react with H 2 and CH 4 , it accomplishes C–H bond activation of ethane, propane, and n ‐butane. In comparison to the previously studied metal‐oxide clusters Mn 2 O 2 + and Fe 2 O 2 + , Ni 2 O 2 + exhibits an enhanced reactivity, which is ascribed to a lower oxygen‐binding energy.
