Local hydration environments of amino acids and dipeptides studied by X-ray spectroscopy of liquid microjets.

TL;DR: The NEXAFS spectrum of zwitterionic lysine solution was also measured, exhibiting features similar to those of both anionic and zwingerionic glycine, and leading us to conclude that the alpha amine group is present in an acceptor-only configuration, while the end of the butylammonium side chain is fully solvated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The high‐resolution far infrared spectrum of a van der Waals stretching vibration: The ν3 band of Ar–HCl

TL;DR: In this article, the first high-resolution measurement of van der Waals stretching vibration in Ar-HCl has been reported by using an intracavity far infrared laser/microwave double resonance spectroscopy of a supersonic free jet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of hydrated triply charged metal ions from aqueous solutions using nanodrop mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: Photodissociation experiments on extensively hydrated clusters of trivalent lanthanum using resonant infrared radiation indicate that a minimum droplet size of approximately a nanometer is necessary for these trivalents species to survive intact, suggesting that elemental speciation of triValent metal ions from aqueous solutions should be possible using nanodrop mass spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

The C7 cluster: structure and infrared frequencies

TL;DR: The observation and characterization of the C7 cluster and analysis of the spectrum indicate an effective average bond length of 1.2736(4) angstroms and a vibrational frequency of 2138.1951(10) reciprocal centimeters, in excellent agreement with ab initio calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of vibrational motion on core-level spectra of prototype organic molecules

TL;DR: In this paper, a computational approach is presented for prediction and interpretation of core-level spectra of complex molecules, sampling a range of chemical bonding and structural motifs, and showing that spectral lineshapes are accurately reproduced both above and below the ionization potential, without resort to ad hoc broadening.
