Studying metal ion solvation, especially hydration, in the gas phase has developed into a
field that is dominated by a tight interaction between experiment and theory. Since the …

Unique among small molecules, water forms a nearly tetrahedral yet flexible hydrogen-bond
network. In addition to its flexibility, this network is dynamic: bonds are formed or broken on a …

The local microenvironment has recently been found to play a major role in the
electrocatalytic activity of nanomaterials. Modulating the microenvironment by adding alkali …

We report here infrared spectra of protonated and lithiated valine with varying degrees of
hydration in the gas phase and interpret them with the help of DFT calculations at the …

A delicate balance between competing and cooperating noncovalent interactions
determines the three-dimensional structure of hydrated alkali-metal ion clusters. With a …

Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy is reported for mass-selected Ni+ (H2O) n
complexes in the O− H stretching region up to cluster sizes of n= 25. These clusters fragment …

A delicate balance between competing and cooperating noncovalent interactions
determines the three-dimensional structure of hydrated alkali-metal ion clusters. A critical …

Investigation of the reactions between water molecules and neutral metal clusters is
important in water splitting but is very challenging due to the inherent difficulty of size …

Structural, thermodynamic, and vibrational characteristics of water clusters up to six water
molecules incorporating a single sodium ion [Na+ (H2O) n (n= 1–6)] are calculated using a …

Experimental characterization of microscopic events and behaviors of SO2–H2O
interactions is crucial to understanding SO2 atmospheric chemistry but has been proven to …
