Martin Mayer,Valentin van Lessen,Markus Rohdenburg,Gao-Lei Hou,Zheng Yang,Rüdiger M. Exner,Edoardo Aprà,Vladimir A. Azov,Simon Grabowsky,Sotiris S. Xantheas,Sotiris S. Xantheas,Knut R. Asmis,Xue-Bin Wang,Carsten Jenne,Jonas Warneke,Jonas Warneke +15 more
TL;DR: A concept for the rational design of anionic superelectrophiles that are composed of a strong electrophilic center firmly embedded in a negatively charged framework of exceptional stability is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic Structure and Stability of [B12X12]2- (X = F-At): A Combined Photoelectron Spectroscopic and Theoretical Study.
Jonas Warneke,Gao-Lei Hou,Edoardo Aprà,Carsten Jenne,Zheng Yang,Zhengbo Qin,Karol Kowalski,Xue-Bin Wang,Sotiris S. Xantheas,Sotiris S. Xantheas +9 more
TL;DR: The unusual intrinsic electronic structure of the [B12X12]2- MCAs provides the basis for a molecular level understanding of their observed unique physical and chemical properties and a new paradigm for understanding the properties of these MCAs with not well-separated charges that departs from the prevailing model used for spatially separated charges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Negative Ion Photoelectron Spectroscopy Reveals Thermodynamic Advantage of Organic Acids in Facilitating Formation of Bisulfate Ion Clusters: Atmospheric Implications
Gao-Lei Hou,Gao-Lei Hou,Wei Lin,Shihu H. M. Deng,Jian Zhang,Jian Zhang,Wei-Jun Zheng,Francesco Paesani,Xue-Bin Wang +8 more
TL;DR: This work provides direct experimental evidence showing significant thermodynamic advantage by involving organic acid molecules to promote formation and growth in bisulfate clusters and aerosols.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Diagnostics of Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) Spectra of PAHs in Flame with TD-DFT: Special Focus on Five-Membered Ring.
TL;DR: The electronic emission characteristics of 13 gas-phase PAHs were investigated to diagnose laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra ofPAHs in flame by DFT, TD-DFT, and premixed flame modeling methods and it was found that naphthalene should be responsible for the fluorescence located in the 312-340 nm region in the flame.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectroscopic Characterization, Computational Investigation, and Comparisons of ECX- (E = As, P, and N; X = S and O) Anions.

TL;DR: In this article, three newly synthesized [Na+(221-Kryptofix)] salts containing AsCO, PCO, and PCS were successfully electrosprayed into a vacuum, and these three ECX-anions were investigated by negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy (NIPES) along with high-resolution photo-electron imaging spectroscopic.
