In this review, we present an overview of our recent work on the infrared spectroscopy of
mass-selected gas-phase molecular ions. The ions are stored and isolated in a quadrupole …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have attracted enormous interest due to their
unique electronic and optoelectronic properties as well as the potential applications in …

Experimental thermochemical properties of benzene, toluene, and 63 polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, published within the period 1878–2008 (over 350 references), are reported …

The physical and chemical processes leading to the formation of molecules in the interstellar
medium (ISM) sthe vast voids between the starssfascinated scientists since the first detection …

Applications of vibrational spectroscopy throughout the field of physical chemistry are limited
by detectors with poor temporal resolution, low detection efficiency, and high background …

We report on superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) based on 30 nm
wide nanowires with detection efficiency η∼ 2.6–5.5% in the wavelength range λ= 0.5–5 …

A new approach for the synthesis of extremely large PAHs in high yield is the oxidative
cyclodehydrogenation of suitable oligophenylenes under Kovacic conditions. The synthesis …

Extensive ab initio Gaussian-3-type calculations of potential energy surfaces (PES), which
are expected to be accurate within 1− 2 kcal/mol, combined with statistical theory …

Understanding of possible molecular interactions at liquid-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces
can shed lights onto the nature's design and authorise fine manipulation aptitude in …

Infrared spectra of gas-phase cationic naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, and pyrene
are recorded in the 500–1600 cm-1 range using multiphoton dissociation in an ion trap. Gas …
