The potassium cation affinities (PCAs) of 136 ligands (20 classes) in the gas phase were
established by hybrid density functional theory calculations (B3‐LYP with the 6‐311+ G (3df …

High-pressure mass spectrometric experiments and ab initio calculations have been carried
out in order to establish a series of accurate gas-phase sodium ion affinities of organic …

This review focuses on the quantitative data related to cesium cation interaction with neutral
or negatively charged ligands. The techniques used for measuring the cesium cation affinity …

The relative and absolute K+ affinities of a full series of aliphatic amino acids (Gly, Ala, Val,
Leu, Ile and α-amino-isobutyric acid (α-AiB)) and N-methylated aliphatic amino acids (N-Me …

Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT‐ICR) ligand exchange equilibrium
experiments have been used to establish a relative scale of sodium binding free energies of …

The relative alkali metal ion (M+) affinities (binding energies) between seventeen different
amino acids (AA) and the corresponding methyl esters (AAOMe) were determined in the gas …

We have used two novel “model chemistry” composite computational techniques, CPd-
G2thaw and c-SLW3, to determine a sodium cation affinity (SCA) scale comprising 38 small …

Threshold collision-induced dissociation (CID) techniques are employed to determine the
bond dissociation energies of cation–π complexes of anisole and the alkali metal cations …

We present optimized geometries and binding energies for alkali-metal cation complexes
with benzene. Results are obtained for Li+ through Cs+ at the RHF/6-311G* and MP2/6 …

Proton, lithium and sodium cations affinities and gas phase basicities toward them were
calculated for 60 organic compounds including alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones and …
