Velocity modulation laser spectroscopy of vibrationally excited CF+: determination of the molecular potential function
TL;DR: The lowest six vibrational hot bands of CF + have been measured in a helium/C 2 F 6 discharge by velocity modulation laser spectroscopy as discussed by the authors, yielding the parameters: ω e = 17926654(18) cm −1 B e = 17204176(75)cm −1, Y 20, = −1322968(54) cm−1, and D 0 = 62086(30)cm−1

Water Pentamer: Characterization of the Torsional-Puckering Manifold by Terahertz VRT Spectroscopy
Heather A. Harker,Mark R. Viant,Frank N. Keutsch,Ernest A. Michael,Ryan P. McLaughlin,Richard J. Saykally +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded, through careful analysis of five new (D2O)5 bands, that at least three torsional-puckering manifolds have been probed and that the lowest-energy manifold is highly compacted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of protein conformation and interactions with salts via X-ray absorption spectroscopy
Craig P. Schwartz,Janel S. Uejio,Andrew M. Duffin,Alice H. England,Daniel N. Kelly,David Prendergast,Richard J. Saykally +6 more
TL;DR: Molecular measurements support a different mechanism for the Hofmeister effect than has previously been suggested based on thermodynamic measurements and it is shown that near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) is sensitive to strong direct interaction between certain salts and charged peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terahertz vibration-rotation-tunneling spectroscopy of water clusters in the translational band region of liquid water
Frank N. Keutsch,M. G. Brown,Poul B. Petersen,Richard J. Saykally,Michel Geleijns,Ad van der Avoird +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first direct observation of the hydrogen-bond stretching vibration for a water cluster was reported by terahertz laser vibration-rotation-tunneling spectroscopy at 142.8 cm−1 in the translational band of the liquid corresponding to the hindered translational motions of water molecules.
A "First Principles" Potential Energy Surface for Liquid Water from VRT Spectroscopy of Water Clusters
TL;DR: The results herein represent the first time to the authors' knowledge that a ‘spectroscopic’ potential surface is able to correctly model condensed phase properties of water.
