Ion soft landing (SL) is a preparative mass spectrometry approach that enables deposition of
mass-and charge-selected gaseous ions onto surfaces with controlled kinetic energy. The …

The complete ligation of nanoclusters significantly reduces their chemical reactivity, catalytic
activity, and charge transfer properties. Therefore, in applications, nanoclusters are activated …

The closo-dodecaborate dianions [B 12 X 12] 2−(X= halogen, CN) have been recognized in
recent years for their outstanding physical and chemical properties. Gas-phase ion …

Mass spectrometry frequently reveals the existence of transient gas phase ions that have not
been synthesized in solution or in bulk. These elusive ions are, therefore, often considered …

We report the development of a new high-flux electrospray ionization-based instrument for
soft landing of mass-selected fragment ions onto surfaces. Collision-induced dissociation is …

In this contribution, we report an efficient approach to multiplex electrospray ionization (ESI)
sources for applications in analytical and preparative mass spectrometry. This is achieved …

Electrospray ion-beam deposition (ES-IBD) is a versatile tool to study the structure and
reactivity of molecules from small metal clusters to large protein assemblies. It brings …

Polyoxovanadate anions immobilized on conducting substrates are promising candidates
for molecule-based memory technologies. However, strong electronic interactions with the …

Understanding the (dis) assembly mechanisms of large metallosupramolecules is critical in
their design, stability and application. The inherent complexity of these structures leads to …

While reactions between ions and neutral molecules in the gas phase have been studied
extensively, reactions between molecular ions of same polarity remain relatively unexplored …
