Gas‐phase experiments provide information which, in conjunction with results from
electronic structure calculations, help to unravel the critical role relativistic effects play in …

Intense femtosecond lasers as well as X-ray free electron lasers provide new means to
produce multiply charged molecular cations. The fragmentation processes that these high …

Autoionization is an important pathway for the relaxation of electronically excited states. In
weakly bonded matter, efficient autoionization channels have been found, in which not only …

Chiral recognition of d-and l-amino acids is achieved and mixtures of enantiomers quantified
in the gas phase, using the kinetics of competitive unimolecular fragmentations of trimeric …

A large amount of scientific works have contributed through the years to rigorously reflect the
different forces leading to the formation of hydrogen bonds, the electrostatic and polarization …

Coulomb repulsion in multiply charged ions (MCIs) is mitigated by long-range electrostatic
interaction with the distant charge separation and delocalized systems. Meanwhile, MCIs …

Ion‐molecule charge‐and proton‐transfer reactions in the desorption plume are considered
for the case of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) with ultraviolet laser …

Multiply charged anions are common in the condensed phase, and their existence has been
generally taken for granted. But until very recently, these species have only rarely been …

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 …

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the complex dynamics of
excited doubly ionized glycine molecules in the gas phase. Multicoincidence mass …
