The understanding of ions in classical chemistry is based on the experiences of chemists
working with solids and solutions. When properties of ions are addressed, one often implies …

Ligand-free metal clusters can be prepared over a wide size range, but only in
comparatively small amounts. Determining their size-dependent properties has therefore …

Multiply charged anions (MCAs) are common in condensed phases but are challenging to
study in the gas phase. An experimental technique, coupling photoelectron spectroscopy …

The 20‐nanogold cluster Au20 exhibits a large variety of two‐and three‐dimensional
isomeric forms. Among them is the ground‐state isomer Au20 (Td) representing the stable …

The results of a systematic study of the interaction of small coinage metal clusters (M n, n=
1− 3) and extended deposition (one and two MLs; ML= monolayer) with the regular and …

Z(Z 0, 1) and on the neutral potential energy surface of Au9. These structures provide
insights on the two to three dimensional 2D⇒ 3D transition in small neutral and charged …

Current issues pertaining to theoretical simulations of materials, with a focus on systems of
nanometer-scale dimensions, are discussed. The use of atomistic simulations as high …

Ultrafine liquid droplets containing complexes of ions play a crucial role in chemical
