1.1. Historical Overview and Goals The knowledge that charged particles exist in the
atmosphere dates to the 1700s with Ben Franklin's discovery that the electrical properties of …

We show how the powerful combination of temperature-dependent kinetics coupled with
detailed statistical modeling can be used to derive dynamical information about transition …

We present the temperature-dependent reaction rate coefficients of CN− and C 3 N− with
atomic hydrogen in the temperature range from 7 to 290 K, measured in a 16-pole radio …

The kinetics of successive reactions of acetylene (C2H2) initiated on either vanadium or iron
atomic cations have been investigated under thermal conditions using the variable-ion …

The kinetics of V n O m++ CCl4 (n, m= 2, 5; 3, 6–8; 4, 9–11; 5, 12–13) have been measured
under thermal conditions using a selected-ion flow tube equipped with a laser vaporization …

The reactivities of three perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs)(perfluoropropanoic acid
(C2F5COOH, PFPA), perfluorobutanoic acid (C3F7COOH, PFBA), and perfluorooctanoic …

We investigate the production and loss rates of in the photochemical equilibrium region of
the Martian ionosphere near the subsolar point. We adopt neutral and ion densities …

The direct formation of N-heterocycles from aromatic hydrocarbons has been observed in
nitrogen-based low-temperature plasmas; the mechanism of this unusual nitrogen-fixation …

We have measured reaction rate constants for CO+ and CO 2+ reacting with N and O atoms
using a selected ion flow tube apparatus equipped with a microwave discharge atom …

The reactions of FeO+ with H2 and of Fe+ with N2O were studied with respect to the
production and reactivity of electronically excited 4Fe+ cations. The reaction of electronic …
