▪ Abstract This review provides a historical context for our understanding of the hydration
shell surrounding halide ions and illustrates how the cluster systems can be used, in …

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 …

Vibrational spectroscopy measurements are described for mass-selected metal cation-
molecular complexes using the technique of infrared resonance-enhanced …

Recent developments have made it possible to produce a variety of novel ionic molecular
species and to study their spectroscopy. In this article, new ion production schemes and/or …

In recent years there has been a considerable interest in the structure, dynamics, and other
properties of water and neutral water clusters. This has been clearly evidenced by a number …

Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy is reported for mass-selected Ni+ (H2O) n
complexes in the O− H stretching region up to cluster sizes of n= 25. These clusters fragment …

The sputtering and decomposition of the surface of Europa by fast ions and electrons lead to
the production of an atomosphere containing sodium and potassium atoms. Here time-of …

Water clusters are studied in order to investigate the evolution of solution phase chemistry
from the molecular level to bulk. When water clusters are studied in a Fourier transform ion …

Inversion tunneling in a symmetric double minimum potential is a challenging large
amplitude motion problem which causes all rotational energy levels to split into a symmetric …

Fe+-(CO 2) n ion-molecule complexes are produced by laser vaporization in a pulsed-
nozzle cluster source. These species are analyzed and mass-selected using a specially …
