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 …

Electronic resonances commonly decay via internal conversion to vibrationally hot anions
and subsequent statistical electron emission. We observed vibrational structure in such an …

Feshbach resonances corresponding to metastable vibrational states of the dipole-bound
state (DBS) have been interrogated in real time for the first time. The state-specific …

Non-valence states in neutral molecules (Rydberg states) have well-established roles and
importance in photochemistry, however, considerably less is known about the role of non …

Valence-bound anions with polar neutral cores (μ>∼ 2.5 D) can support dipole-bound
excited states below the detachment threshold. These dipole-bound states (DBSs) are …

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 states of neutral molecules (Rydberg states) play important roles in
nonadiabatic dynamics of excited states. In anions, such nonadiabatic transitions between …

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 …

Nonvalence states of molecular anions play key roles in processes, such as electron
mobility, in rare-gas liquids, radiation-induced damage to DNA, and the formation of anions …
