The close interaction between experiment and theory is a key motif in contemporary
transition-metal chemistry with mechanistic orientation. As an illustration of this aspect, we …

Magnesium dication plays many significant roles in biochemistry. While it is available to the
environment from both ocean waters and mineral salts on land, its roles in environmental …

A new experimental approach is presented in which two separate cryogenic ion traps are
used to reproducibly form weakly bound solvent clusters around electrosprayed ions and …

An account is given of the current state of understanding of aqueous salt, acid, and
lipid/water surfaces, interfacial depth, and molecular organization within the air–solution …

Electrospray ionization of uranyl nitrate dissolved in water generates gaseous species
containing either hydroxo− uranyl [UO2 (OH)]+ or nitrato− uranyl [UO2 (NO3)]+ contact ion …

A tetrapodal pentadentate nitrogen ligand (2, 6-bis (1, 1-di (aminomethyl) ethyl) pyridine, 1)
is used for the synthesis of the azido-iron (III) complex [(1) Fe (N3)] X2 where X is either Br or …

Solvation of salts in water is a fundamental physical chemical process, but the underlying
mechanism remains unclear. We investigated the contact ion pair (CIP) to solvent-separated …

Infrared photodissociation spectra of buffer-gas-cooled [MgNO3 (H2O) n]+ complexes with
n= 1− 4 are measured in the O− H stretching region. The observed bands are assigned to …

We apply molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the final phase of electrospray
ionization (ESI), where an ion loses all of its associated solvent molecules. By applying an …

Electrospray ionization of aqueous silver nitrate is used for the preparation of the disilver-
oxide cation Ag2O+ in the gas phase. The mass-selected cation is capable of activating C …
