Although the restriction of intramolecular motion (RIM) has been accepted as a general
working mechanism for the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon, some new …

Through a combination of ion-mobility filtering and laser-equipped quadrupole ion–trap
mass spectrometry, the gas-phase reaction kinetics of two protonation isomers of the …

Binuclear coinage metal phosphine complexes are examined under ion trap isolation in
order to elucidate their noncovalent binding, structural properties and intrinsic electronic …

The low-lying electronic states of Irgacure 2959, a Norrish-type I photoinitiator, complexed
with a single metal cation are investigated in the gas phase by photodissociation action …

The detection and assignment of protonation isomers, termed protomers, of gas-phase ions
remains a challenge in mass spectrometry. With the emergence of ion-mobility techniques …

Rhodamines are widely used as laser dyes and fluorescent probes due to their excellent
photophysical and photochemical properties. Previous theoretical studies have shown that …

Exploring how charge-changing affects the photoluminescence of small organic dyes
presents challenges. Here, helium tagging photodissociation (PD) action spectroscopy in …

It is a challenge to rationally design an organic molecule with thermally activated delayed
