A diversity of experimental techniques has been developed over the last 25 years to create
samples of molecular gases at temperatures close to the Absolute Zero—here we consider …

Recent years have seen the emergence of a new generation of collision and cold-chemistry
experiments in which cold atoms and ions are brought into contact in a controlled way in …

Since Arrhenius first proposed an equation to account for the behavior of thermally activated
reactions in 1889, significant progress has been made in our understanding of chemical …

The relationship between the shape of a molecule and its chemical reactivity is a central
tenet in chemistry. However, the influence of the molecular geometry on reactivity can be …

Coulomb crystals have proven to be powerful and versatile tools for the study of ion–
molecule reactions under cold and controlled conditions. Reactions in Coulomb crystals are …

We report the generation, trapping, and sympathetic cooling of individual conformers of
molecular ions with the example of cis-and trans-meta-aminostyrene. Following …

Recent advances in experimental methodology enabled studies of the quantum-state-and
conformational dependence of chemical reactions under precisely controlled conditions in …

The present perspective review focuses on the role of the precursor state, controlling the
dynamical evolution of elementary processes, whose structure and stability are often difficult …

Details on the stereo-dynamic topology of chemi-ionizations highlight the role of the
centrifugal barrier of colliding reactants: it acts as a selector of the orbital quantum number …

Methanol is a key species in astrochemistry as its presence and reactivity provides a primary
route to the synthesis of more complex interstellar organic molecules (iCOMs) that may …
