The importance of the selective activation of alkanes for science and technology in the
forthcoming decades does not need to be explicitly pointed out in this thematic issue of …

This paper is a detailed critical review of the production processes and reactions of N, N+,
N+ 2, N++, and N++ 2 of relevance to Titan's atmosphere. The review includes neutral, ion …

Motivated by the search for ways of a more efficient usage of the large, unexploited
resources of methane, recent progress in the gas-phase activation of methane by ligated …

This paper presents a review of the current knowledge on the doubly-charged atomic and
molecular positive ions in the planetary atmospheres of the Solar System. It is focused on …

We demonstrate the application of infrared photodissocation spectroscopy for determination
of the Fe O stretching frequencies of high-valent iron (IV)–oxo complexes [(L) Fe (O)(X)] …

The close interaction between experiment and theory is a key motif in contemporary
transition-metal chemistry with mechanistic orientation. As an illustration of this aspect, we …

The structure of doubly ionized benzene has been spectroscopically studied for the first time.
Helium-tagged complexes were prepared at temperatures below 4 K and analyzed using …

A tetrapodal pentadentate nitrogen ligand (2, 6-bis (1, 1-di (aminomethyl) ethyl) pyridine, 1)
is used for the synthesis of the azido-iron (III) complex [(1) Fe (N3)] X2 where X is either Br or …

Gaseous molecules and ions, and even dust grains, can accumulate charge in the
interstellar medium (ISM) by harvesting the energy of UV photons, cosmic rays, helium ions …

This review discusses the recent developments in our understanding of the electron transfer
and bond-forming reactions of small atomic and molecular dications in the gas-phase. A …
