A new era in chemical kinetics was heralded 20 years ago by the results reported by
Bertrand Rowe, then at the Laboratoire d AØrothermique in Meudon.[1] Using an apparatus …

A major aim of astrochemistry is to explain the nature and abundance of the molecules
observed in the interstellar medium (ISM). Three kinds of activity are involved:(a) the …

As was originally discussed by Herbst and Klem-perer, 1 the low density and low
temperatureof interstellar regions restricts the gas-phase chemistry to exothermic binary …

This contribution concentrates on the use of an ion trapping technique which has been
developed for studying collision processes and chemical reactions at low temperatures and …

An entirely new experimental method is described which enables the rate constants of
neutral–neutral gas‐phase reactions to be measured at ultralow temperatures. The …

The field of astrochemistry concerns the formation and abundance of molecules in the
interstellar medium, star-forming regions, exoplanets, and solar system bodies. These …

Studies of gas-phase processes at temperatures down to 10 K have recently blossomed,
largely through application of the CRESU (cinétique de réaction en ecoulement …

The CRESU (Cinétique de Réactions en Ecoulement Supersonique Uniforme) technique
allows ion/molecule reaction rate coefficients to be determined in the temperature range 8 …

While the physical chemistry of gas-phase ions has its roots in traditional mass spectrometry,
the growth of the field during the past two decades can be attributed to the development and …
