Resistively heated silicon carbide microreactors are widely applied as continuous sources to
selectively prepare elusive and reactive intermediates with astrochemical, catalytic, or …

The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) beamline of the Swiss Light Source has been upgraded after
two years of operation. A new, turntable-type monochromator was constructed at the Paul …

Fast pyrolysis of lignin is one of the most promising methods to convert the complex and
irregular structure of lignin into renewable chemicals and fuel. During pyrolysis the complex …

Resonance-stabilised hydrocarbon radicals serve as reaction intermediates in flames,
plasmas, atmospheres and interstellar space. Their stability is conferred by delocalisation of …

Photoionization mass spectrometry is a powerful method for time-and space-resolved
chemical analysis of reactants, intermediates, and products. Tunable synchrotron light …

Complex reactive processes in the gas phase often proceed via numerous reaction steps
and intermediate species that must be identified and quantified to develop an understanding …

Photoelectron Photoion Coincidence (PEPICO) spectroscopy holds the promise of a
universal, isomer-selective, and sensitive analytical technique for time-resolved quantitative …

Xylyl (methylbenzyl) radicals are important combustion intermediates, formed in the
pyrolysis and oxidation of xylenes and other substituted aromatic fuel additives. We have …

Using our recent concept of quasi‐molecule, we comment on the physical basis of the
Periodic Table for the enumeration of Polyatomic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH6), and Dias …
