Studying metal ion solvation, especially hydration, in the gas phase has developed into a
field that is dominated by a tight interaction between experiment and theory. Since the …

The chemistry of gold strongly focuses on the ubiquitous oxidation states+ I and+ III. The
intermediate oxidation state+ II is generally avoided in mononuclear gold species. In recent …

Gold (II) complexes are rare, and their application to the catalysis of chemical
transformations is underexplored. The reason is their easy oxidation or reduction to more …

The gas-phase study of small metal ion− molecule complexes offers one of the few
opportunities in which cluster science and condensed phase behavior can relate at a …

Porphyrin-based mixed-valent Ag( i )/Ag( ii ) and Cu( i )/Cu( ii ) networks as efficient
heterogeneous catalysts for the azide–alkyne “click” reaction ... - Chemical Communications …

In the gas phase, the doubly-charged ions of small molecules (molecular dications) exhibit a
wide range of reactivity following bimolecular collisions with neutral species. This feature …

Correlation between the photophysics and the structures of three Ag (I)− bis (diphosphine)
complexes ([Ag (dppbz) 2] NO3 (1· NO 3),[Ag (dppe) 2] NO3 (2· NO 3), and [Ag (dppp) 2] …

Four recent Letters in this journal have contributed to a controversy over the possible
existence of the monoligated copper dications Cu (L) 2+ with L= H2O and NH3. Here, it is …

Although the mechanism for the transformation of carbon dioxide to formate with copper
hydride is well understood, it is not clear how formic acid is ultimately released. Herein, we …

The advent of electrospray ionization source opened the door to generation of multiply
charged metal ions complexed with organic molecules. A significant amount of work on …
