Conspectus The interrogation of reaction intermediates is key for understanding chemical
reactions; however their direct observation and study remains a considerable challenge …

The diffuse interstellar bands are absorption lines seen towards reddened stars. None of the
molecules responsible for these bands have been conclusively identified. Two bands at …

Rotational action spectroscopy is an experimental method in which rotational spectra of
molecules, typically in the microwave to sub-mm-wave domain of the electromagnetic …

We report on modifications made to a Paul-type quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer and
discuss its application in infrared ion spectroscopy experiments. Main modifications involve …

Cryogenic ion trap vibrational spectroscopy paired with quantum chemistry currently
represents the most generally applicable approach for the structural investigation of …

Recent low-temperature laboratory measurements and astronomical observations have
proved that the fullerene cation ${{\rm {C}}} _ {60}^{+} $ is responsible for four diffuse …

The premise of most studies on the homogeneous electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction
(CO2RR) is a good understanding of the reaction mechanisms. Yet, analyzing the reaction …

Two similar 4 K 22-pole trapping machines have been recently completed in our laboratory.
As a first experimental test in one of them, CH 5+ and H 3 O+ ions have been trapped in the …

The strong C–H bond activation of hydrocarbons is a difficult reaction in environmental and
biological chemistry. Herein, a high-valent manganese (IV)-hydroxo complex,[MnIV (CHDAP …

We report the synthesis and characterization of a mononuclear nonheme cobalt (III)-imidyl
complex,[Co (NTs)(TQA)(OTf)]+(1), with an S= 3/2 spin state that is capable of facilitating …
