In this article, IR-induced and tunneling-driven reactions observed in cryogenic matrices are
described in a historical perspective, the entangling of the two types of processes being …

The structures and relative stabilities as well as the rotational and vibrational spectra of the
three low-energy conformers of pyruvic acid (PA) have been characterized using a state-of …

Monomers of pyruvic acid (PA) isolated in cryogenic argon and nitrogen matrixes were
characterized by mid-and near-infrared spectroscopy. Interpretation of the experiments was …

The conformers of α-serine were investigated by matrix-isolation IR spectroscopy combined
with NIR laser irradiation. This method, aided by 2D correlation analysis, enabled …

Infrared vibrational excitation is a promising approach for gaining exceptional control of
chemical reactions, in ways that cannot be attained via thermal or electronic excitation. Here …

The theoretical foundations for nuclei and electron tunnelling were put forward by Hund, 1
Wigner, 2 Bell, 3 and others, 4, 5 following the establishment of quantum mechanics. A more …

We have studied hydrogen-atom tunneling in the cis-to-trans conformational change of
some carboxylic acid monomers and formic acid (FA) complexes and dimers at the MP2 …

Uniquely creates a strong bridge between molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemistry
This two-volume book consists of many reviews reporting new applications of quantum …

Vibrational excitation using frequency-tunable IR laser light has been developed as a
powerful tool for selective manipulation of molecular conformations. In this methodology …

An imino group was used for the first time as a vibrational antenna to manipulate molecular
conformations. Imino-thiol isomers of thioacetamide were generated upon UV-irradiation of …
