Isolated transition metal clusters have been established as useful models for extended metal
surfaces or deposited metal particles, to improve the understanding of their surface …

Four seemingly simple transformations related to the chemistry of methane will be
addressed from mechanistic and conceptual points of view: 1) metal‐mediated …

Gas‐phase experiments with state‐of‐the‐art techniques of mass spectrometry provide
detailed insights into numerous elementary processes. The focus of this Review is on …

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 …

The field of cluster research can trace its origins back to the mid-nineteenth century when
early studies of colloids, aerosols, and nucleation phenomena were reported. The field …

CTAB-stabilized gold nanoparticles were synthesized by applying the seeding-growth
approach in order to gain information about the size dependence of the catalytic reduction of …

Over the last decade the gas‐phase chemistry of bare transition‐metal oxide cations MO+
has received considerable attention. This interest is primarily due to the particular role of …

This review article summarizes efforts to use nitrous oxide (N2O,'laughing gas') as a reagent
in synthetic chemistry. The focus will be on reactions which are carried out in homogeneous …

The ion-molecule reactions of thermalized iron-oxide cation FeO+ with dihydrogen and
methane have been studied by three different experimental techniques: Fourier transform …

Studies devoted to elucidating the mechanisms of formation and the properties of small
clusters consisting of molecules attached to ions have dramatically in-creased during the …
