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 …

Much interest has been evinced on the properties of weakly bound van der Waals
complexes of π-systems because of their utility in diverse fields (Figure 1). 1-14 Theoretical …

Helium nanodroplets have emerged as a new and exciting medium for studying the structure
and dynamics of both this quantum solvent and impurities that can be doped into (onto) and …

Gas-phase spectroscopy lends itself ideally to the study of isolated molecules and provides
important data for comparison with theory. In recent years, we have seen enormous …

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the applications of helium nanodroplets
in the study of ensembles of atoms and molecules, ie clusters and complexes. These …

▪ Abstract The problem of the binding of an excess electron to polar molecules and their
clusters has long fascinated researchers. Although excess electrons bound to such species …

The broadest motivation for exploring electron attachment to biological molecules comes
from their important role in radiation damage. Large quantities of secondary electrons with …

Covering the gap between basic textbooks and over-specialized scientific publications, this
is the first reference available to describe this interdisciplinary topic for PhD students and …

Anion photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) has become one of the most versatile techniques
in chemical physics. This article briefly reviews the history of anion PES and some of its …

Recent developments have made it possible to produce a variety of novel ionic molecular
