abstract = {HNCS, isothiocyanic acid, and HNCO, isocyanic acid, are
important molecules in the interstellar medium due to their
composition of the essential atoms for organic life and
their possible prebiotic role. They are assumed to be formed
by dissociative recombination of their protonated versions,
[H$_2$NCO]$^+$ and [H$_2$NCS]$^+$, where protonation may
occur either on the N- or the O/S-atom. Here, we report the
investigation of [H$_2$NCO]$^+$ and [H$_2$NCS]$^+$ by
broadband infrared (IR) spectroscopy in a cryogenic 22-pole
ion trap instrument via tag-free leak-out spectroscopy.
Infrared radiation in the range of 450–3500 cm–1 was
provided by the infrared free-electron laser FELIX-2 at
HFML–FELIX. We predominantly observe the N-protonated
isomers, H$_2$NCS$^+$ and H$_2$NCO$^+$, with potentially a
small contribution of H$_2$NCOH$^+$. Five fundamental
transitions in the range of 450–3500 cm$^{–1}$ were
observed of H$_2$NCO$^+$ and eight fundamental and
overtone/combination bands of H$_2$NCS$^+$. The transitions
are assigned with the help of quantum-chemical calculations
using a combination of CCSD(T)/cc-pCVTZ for anharmonic
transition energies and ωB97XD/cc-pVQZ for anharmonic
transition intensities. Several modes show a rotational
substructure, which is discussed in detail for the
ν$_5$(b$_1$) bending vibrational mode of H$_2$NCS$^+$. The
data presented in this paper is the first experimental study
investigating the IR spectra of these ions and also the
first experimental investigation of [H$_2$NCS]$^+$. This
work provides important reference data for upcoming studies
of formation mechanisms of HNCO and HNCS at cryogenic
conditions.},
