Arynes, which are formally derived from aromatic rings by abstraction of two hydrogen
atoms, have been a focus of organic chemistry for 100 years. In contrast to ortho‐benzyne …

The study of pure carbon molecules has engaged great interest for many decades. 1
Molecules of this kind were first detected in astrophysical sources over a century ago and …

Proudly serving the scientific community for over a century, this 97th edition of the CRC
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is an update of a classic reference, mirroring the growth …

Acetylenes are an important and valuable class of compounds in organic synthesis. This
book expands on this historically well-established concept, while incorporating the many …

Carbon clusters are generated by laser desorption. Mass-selected beams are then pulse
injected into an ion chromatography (IC) device. This device temporally and spatially …

The field of cluster research can trace its origins back to the mid-nineteenth century when
early studies of colloids, aerosols, and nucleation phenomena were reported. The field …

Laser excitation of nanometer-sized atomic and molecular clusters offers various
opportunities to explore and control ultrafast many-particle dynamics. Whereas weak laser …

A liquid-solution-phase technique for preparing submicrometer-sized silicon single crystals
is presented. The synthesis is based on the reduction of SiCl4 and RSiCl3 (R= H, octyl) by …

Singly charged negative ions in the gas phase have attracted considerable experimental
and theoretical attention over the past decades. However, the existence of free doubly or …

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 …
