Unprecedented hydrolysis reactions are observed in the gas phase in clusters containing doubly-charged vanadium oxides and hydroxide anions, SO2and H2O. The experimental and computational study shows the cooperative effects of the vanadium species, V2O62-and HV3O92-, and sulfur dioxide on the enhancement of the hydrogen bonds of water that allows the acid-base reaction and charge separation in the doubly-charged ion.
