T. D. Frigden, L. MacAleese, T. B. McMahon, J. Lemaire, and P. Maitre, Gas phase infrared multiple photon dissociation spectra of methanol, ethanol and propanol proton bound dimers, protonated propanol and the propanol/water proton bound dimer. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 8, 955 966 (2006). 

Minkwitz and Schneider54 have been able to obtain protonated methanol in the form of hexafluorometalate salts (MeOH2+MF6, M = As, Sb), and these were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Protonated propanol and proton-bound dimers of methanol, ethanol, and propanol with the proton shared between two alcohol molecules (5) have also been characterized by infrared multiphoton dissociation... 

The Fe(II) adenine complex is structurally similar to that of Fe(III) in that both are binuclear dimers bound together by double anionic adenine bridges. However, the Fe(III) complex discussed above is water-free, containing coordinated neutral adenine while the Fe(II) complex contains additional proton donating ligands, water and ethanol. The electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical data exhibit several disinguishing features.
