Gas-phase anions present an ideal playground for the exploration of excited-state dynamics.
They offer control in terms of the mass, extent of solvation, internal temperature, and …

Conspectus Nonvalence bound states (NBS) are anionic states where the excess electron is
extremely loosely bound to the neutral core through long-range potentials. In contrast to the …

Anion chemical dynamics of autodetachment and fragmentation mediated by the dipole-
bound state (DBS) have been thoroughly investigated in a state-specific way by employing …

Nonvalence bound state (NBS) is a unique anionic state where an excess electron is loosely
bound to a neutral molecule in long-range potentials. Since Fermi and Teller first proposed …

The positions and widths of the optically allowed electronic states of the tetracene radical
anion located above the detachment threshold energy (ie anion resonances) are mapped …

We present a novel method for the simulation of the vibration-induced autoionization
dynamics in molecular anions in the framework of the quantum–classical surface hopping …

Molecular anions are appealing targets for study because, compared with their neutral and
cationic counterparts, they can be probed with conventional laboratory lasers without the …

In this thesis, theoretical approaches for the simulation of electron detachment processes in
molecules following vibrational or electronic excitation are developed and applied. These …
