The laser vaporization cluster source has been used for the production of gas phase atomic
clusters and metal-molecular complexes for 30 years. Numerous experiments in the …

Studying metal ion solvation, especially hydration, in the gas phase has developed into a
field that is dominated by a tight interaction between experiment and theory. Since the …

Vibrational spectroscopy measurements are described for mass-selected metal cation-
molecular complexes using the technique of infrared resonance-enhanced …

First results from a new ion trap instrument are presented. With this instrument, ions can be
cooled to temperatures below 4 K using helium buffer gas. Low temperatures and high …

The gas-phase study of small metal ion− molecule complexes offers one of the few
opportunities in which cluster science and condensed phase behavior can relate at a …

Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy is reported for mass-selected Ni+ (H2O) n
complexes in the O− H stretching region up to cluster sizes of n= 25. These clusters fragment …

In this paper we motivate the study of biomolecular building blocks under isolated or well
defined conditions. We explain why we believe that especially gas phase investigations in …

Water clusters are studied in order to investigate the evolution of solution phase chemistry
from the molecular level to bulk. When water clusters are studied in a Fourier transform ion …

Fe+-(CO 2) n ion-molecule complexes are produced by laser vaporization in a pulsed-
nozzle cluster source. These species are analyzed and mass-selected using a specially …

Photodissociation action spectroscopy has made a great progress in expanding
investigations of gas‐phase ion structures. This review deals with aspects of gas‐phase ion …
