Photoelectron spectroscopy of metal cluster anions : Cu−n, Ag−n, and Au−n
TL;DR: In this paper, negative ion photoelectron spectra of Cu−n, Ag−n(n=1-10), and Au−n (n= 1-5) are presented for electron binding energies up to 3.35 eV at an instrumental resolution of 6-9 meV.

Kent M. Ervin,Scott Gronert,Stephan E. Barlow,Mary K. Gilles,Alex G. Harrison,Veronica M. Bierbaum,Charles H. DePuy,W. C. Lineberger,G. B. Ellison +8 more
TL;DR: Negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy and gas-phase proton transfer kinetics were employed to determine the CH bond dissociation energies of acetylene, ethylene, and vinyl radical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anchoring the Gas-Phase Acidity Scale†
Kent M. Ervin,Vincent F. DeTuri +1 more
TL;DR: Theoretical calculations and experimental values from the recent literature are used to construct and evaluate a high precision gas-phase acidity scale as mentioned in this paper, which is applied to previous thermokinetic or equilibrium measurements of the acidities of small alkanols, ethene and benzene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal-ligand interactions: Gas-phase transition metal cluster carbonyls
TL;DR: In this article, the interaction of small transition-metal cluster anions with carbonyl ligands is compared with neutral and cationic clusters under thermal conditions, and the reaction rates of transition metal clusters with carbon monoxide are measured as a function of cluster size.
