The roots of mass spectrometry (MS) can be traced to the early 20th century when in the
Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, UK, JJ Thomson performed his first …

A molecular beam of multilayer metal− benzene organometallic clusters M n (C6H6) m (M=
Al, Sc, Ti, and V) was produced by a laser vaporization synthesis method, and their magnetic …

Clusters consisting of 10–1000 atoms size-dependently exhibit novel electronic and
geometric properties. In particular, composite clusters composed of several elements and/or …

Noncovalent interactions are crucial for many physical, chemical, and biological
phenomena. Matrix isolation is a powerful method to study noncovalent interactions …

Gas-phase synthesized vanadium− benzene 1: 2 (VBz2) sandwich clusters were size-
selectively deposited onto bare gold and long-chain n-alkanethiolate [− S−(CH2) n-1− CH3; …

Gas-phase synthesized multidecker V2 (benzene) 3 sandwich complexes were soft-landed
onto a self-assembled monolayer of an n-octadecanethiol (C18-SAM). The infrared …

Scandium-benzene complexes, Sc–(C 6 H 6) 1, 2 are produced by interactions between the
laser-vaporized scandium atoms and benzene vapor in pulsed molecular beams, and …

Based on first-principles density functional theory calculations, we explore the electronic and
magnetic properties of experimentally producible sandwiches and infinite wires made of …

Ti–and V–bz 2 (bz= C 6 H 6) sandwich complexes have been prepared in a laser-ablation
cluster beam source and studied by pulsed field ionization–zero electron kinetic energy …

The reaction of atomic boron with benzene in solid neon has been investigated by matrix
isolation infrared spectroscopy with isotopic substitutions as well as quantum chemical …
