The laser vaporization cluster source has been used for the production of gas phase atomic
clusters and metal-molecular complexes for 30 years. Numerous experiments in the …

This review focuses on the use of mass spectrometry to examine the gas phase ion
chemistry of metal clusters. Ways of forming gas phase clusters are briefly overviewed and …

Methane is spontaneously dehydrogenated in the gas phase by many metal ions of the 5d
transition series. In most cases, the MCH2+ produced undergoes further reactions, leading …

Alkane dehydrogenation is a common reaction in the gas-phase chemistry of bare transition-
metal ions. 1 Reaction with methane, however, is very unusual; exothermic formation of …

Theoretical binding energies are reported for all first-row and selected second-row transition
metal ions (M+) bound to benzene. The calculations employ basissets of at least double-f …

Thermochemical properties are determined for the association reactions of benzene with
Na+ and Pb+ ions. The values obtained are-28.0 kcal/mol and-31.2 cal/mol K for the …

Metal carbonyl cations of the form M (CO) n+ are produced in a molecular beam by laser
vaporization in a pulsed nozzle source. These ions, and their corresponding rare gas atom …

The spectroscopic constants for the groundand selected low-lying electronic states of the
transitionmetal-noble gas ions have been determined at the modified coupled-pair …

The potential energy surfaces corresponding to the dehydrogenation reaction of H2O, NH3,
and CH4 molecules by Fe+ (6D, 4F) cation have been investigated in the framework of the …

The Patai Series publishes comprehensive reviews on all aspects of specific functional
groups. Each volume contains outstanding surveys on theoretical and computational …
