Teh article reports the synthesis of Methanediol, and its caharcterization. The molecule could play a role in the chemistry of the high atmospehere and its infrered signature had been found earlier.
Of course the molecule is highly instable, authors give the lifetime as above 7 Mikroseconds at 200 K...
