Direct dynamics simulation of singly hydrated peroxide ion reacting with CH3Cl reveals a new product channel that forms CH3OH + Cl- + HOOH, besides the traditional channel that forms CH3OOH + Cl- + H2O. This finding shows that singly hydrated peroxide ion behaves as a dual nucleophile through proton transfer between HOO-(H2O) and HO-(HOOH). Trajectory analysis attributes the occurrence of the thermodynamically and kinetically unfavored HO--induced pathway to the entrance channel dynamics, where extensive proton transfer occurs within the deep well of the prereaction complex. This study represents the first example of a single solvent molecule altering the nucleophile in a gas-phase ion-molecule nucleophilic substitution reaction, in addition to reducing the reactivity and affecting the dynamics, signifying the importance of dynamical effects of solvent molecules.
