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 …

Bimetallic cluster ions of composition AunXm (X Al, In, Cs) have been studied using time-of-
flight mass spectrometry. The mass spectra of gold–aluminum clusters exhibit electronic …

The group III metal dimers Ga 2 and In 2 and the newly identified intermetallic molecule GaIn
were investigated in a Knudsen cell-mass spectrometric study of the vapors over gallium …

Gold-metal dissociation energies measured by mass-spectroscopic methods in 1967 by
Gingerich and co-workers showed unexpectedly high D e values compared with those of the …

The diatomic molecules SiPb and GePb were for the first time identified by producing high
temperature vapors of the constituent pure elements in a “double-oven-like” molecular …

The high temperature vaporization processes of strontium silicides were studied by means
of the Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry and Knudsen Effusion Weight Loss techniques …

In contrast to the corresponding binary halides and oxides the thermodynamic and
spectroscopic properties of the ternary gaseous oxyhalides of the first transition series …

The results of the investigation of the high temperature decomposition reactions in vacuum
under equilibrium conditions of ytterbium silicides in the whole composition range are …

The silicon–tin chemical bond has been investigated by a study of the SiSn diatomic
molecule and a number of new polyatomic SixSny molecules. These species, formed in the …

Whether we work on atoms, molecules or solids, we have in common the Periodic System.
At least seven different trends can be found in it, see Figure 1. The last three of them are of …
