Using the Yebes 40 m and IRAM 30 m radiotelescopes, we detected two series of
harmonically related lines in space that can be fitted to a symmetric rotor. The lines have …

The gas-phase acidity and proton affinity of thymine, cytosine, and 1-methyl cytosine have
been examined using both theoretical (B3LYP/6-31+ G*) and experimental (bracketing …

Hypoxanthine is a mutagenic purine base that most commonly arises from the oxidative
deamination of adenine. Damaged bases such as hypoxanthine are associated with …

A rigorous analysis of the kinetic method is carried out using Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-
Marcus (RRKM) theory of microcanonical statistical unimolecular dissociation rates. The …

The kinetic method, which is based on the competitive dissociations of mass-selected cluster
ions, has been increasingly applied in thermochemical determination mainly due to its …

The proton affinities of lysine (1) and its three homologues ornithine (2), 2, 4-
diaminobutanoic acid (3), and 2, 3-diaminopropanoic acid (4) have been determined using …

This paper gathers structural and thermochemical informations related to the gas‐phase
basicity of molecules containing cyanides (nitriles) and isocyanides (isonitriles) functional …

Photoionization mass spectrometry (PI-MS) has become a versatile tool in the real-time
analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the atmosphere or exhaled breath …

Unlike the previous studies of oxidative triflamidation, the reactions of triflamide with
norbornene and norbornadiene in nitriles RCN (R= Me, i-Bu, Ph) or THF in the presence of t …

Allyl halides with triflamide under oxidative conditions form halogen-substituted amidines.
Allyl cyanide reacts with triflamide in acetonitrile or THF solutions in the presence of NBS to …
