In this review, noncovalent interactions of ions with neutral molecules are discussed. After
defining the scope of the article, which excludes anionic and most protonated systems …

This Account focuses on metal ion− ligand complexes of biological relevance and
measurements of the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of such species. These complexes …

Understanding the energy it takes to build or break chemical bonds is essential for scientists
and engineers in a wide range of innovative fields, including catalysis, nanomaterials …

The vibrational spectra of the gaseous sodium complexes of glycine (Gly− Na+) and proline
(Pro− Na+) have been recorded in the spectral range 1150− 2000 cm-1. The complexes …

Threshold collision-induced dissociation of M+ (AAA) with Xe is studied using guided ion
beam tandem mass spectrometry. M+ include the alkali metal ions Na+ and K+. The three …

We report here infrared spectra of protonated and lithiated valine with varying degrees of
hydration in the gas phase and interpret them with the help of DFT calculations at the …

Interactions between metal ions and amino acids are common both in solution and in the
gas phase. Here, the effect of metal ions and water on the structure of glycine is examined …

The structures of isolated alkaline earth metal cationized amino acids are investigated using
infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy and theory. These results …

Infrared multiple-photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy is employed to obtain detailed
