Structures and Charge Distributions of Cluster Anions Studied by Infrared Photodissociation Spectroscopy

Abstract |
<p>Anions are relevant in many different facets of chemistry. The study of anions, their interaction\ <span style="line-height: 1.6em;">with other atoms and molecules and the effect of solvation on those interactions are of interest\ </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">to further the understanding of chemical processes. Studies on cluster ions in vacuo allow for the\ </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">generation of and excellent control over chemically interesting species. Experiments of this nature\ </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">are ideal for studying the fundamental interactions of molecular partners by eliminating many of\ </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">the complications of obtaining spectroscopic data on an individual species in the condensed phase.\ </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">The clusters studied can also be viewed as model systems for more complex chemical processes that</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">are otherwise difficult to understand at a molecular level.</span></p>
