The energy difference between an uncharged species and its negative ion, referred to as an
electron affinity (EA), is an important property of atoms and molecules. Negative ions, or …

Abstract The GeHn (n= 0–4) and Ge2Hn (n= 0–6) systems have been studied systematically
by five different density functional methods. The basis sets employed are of double‐ζ plus …

Four different density functional methods have been employed to study the molecular
structures, electron affinities, and first dissociation energies of the GeF n/GeF n−(n= 1–5) …

The gas-phase acidity of ethyl-, vinyl-, ethynyl-, and phenyl-substituted silanes, germanes,
and stannanes has been measured by means of FT-ICR techniques. The effect of …

The field of application of mass spectrometry (MS) has increased considerably due to the
development of ionization techniques. Other factors that have stimulated the use of MS are …

The electron affinity (EA) of the most toxic dioxin, 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin
(TCDD), has been obtained along with that of two other toxic TCDDs using density functional …

The present review presents a tour de force through the main aspects related to the positive
and negative ion mass spectrometry of simple Ge-containing compounds. Important …

The structure, harmonic frequencies, enthalpies of formation, and dissociation energies of
the GeF n+ cations (n= 1− 3) and of their neutral counterparts GeF n have been investigated …
