Gas Phase Study of Solution Phase Species and Chemistry Using Variable Temperature Photoelectron Spectrometer


EMSL Project ID
48584

Abstract

We propose to investigate solution phase species and chemistry in the gas phase using a recently developed low-temperature photoelectron spectrometer. The subjects include but not limited to, temperature-dependent studies on solvation of complex anions, electronic strcuctures of environmentally important diradical species, and dissolution of salts at solution and interfaces.
