Aryl sulfonyl chlorides (eg Ts‐Cl) are beloved of organic chemists as the most commonly
used SVI electrophiles, and the parent sulfuryl chloride, O2SVICl2, has also been relied on …

▪ Abstract This review provides a historical context for our understanding of the hydration
shell surrounding halide ions and illustrates how the cluster systems can be used, in …

For meaningful theoretical studies of biomolecular systems, it is necessary to have potential
energy functions providing a realistic and accurate representation of both the microscopic …

We present results from theoretical studies of aqueous ionic solvation of alkali halides aimed
at developing a microscopic description of structure and dynamics at the interface between …

We report on the direct measurement of the dynamics of water molecules in the solvation
shell of an ion in aqueous solution. The hydrogen-bond dynamics of water molecules …

There has been long-standing uncertainty about the number of water molecules in the
primary coordination environment of the OH− and F− ions in aqueous chemistry. We report …

We report here the use of simple and readily available alkyl sulfoxides as precursors to
radicals and their application in the preparation of pyridine derivatives. We show that alkyl …

▪ Abstract The problem of the binding of an excess electron to polar molecules and their
clusters has long fascinated researchers. Although excess electrons bound to such species …

A cluster is an aggregate of bound atoms or molecules, intermediate in size between a
molecule and a bulk solid. Clusters of a variety of molecules are receiving increasing …

We present infrared photodissociation spectra of the microhydrated nitrate ions NO3−(H2O)
1− 6, measured from 600 to 1800 cm− 1. The assignment of the spectra is aided by …
