Solvent free interactions in contact pairs of molecules of biological interest: Laser spectroscopic and electrospray mass spectrometric studies
A laser spectroscopic and mass spectrometric study of ionic and molecular clusters of biological interest is reported. The molecules of interest and their aggregates were generated in a supersonic beam and analyzed by mass resolved resonant two photon absorption and ionization (R2PI) and by collisio...

Summary: | A laser spectroscopic and mass spectrometric study of ionic and molecular clusters of biological
interest is reported. The molecules of interest and their aggregates were generated in a supersonic beam and
analyzed by mass resolved resonant two photon absorption and ionization (R2PI) and by collision induced
mass spectrometry (CID-MS). The absence of the solvent allows to study these systems in the isolated state
free of undesired solvent effects which may level off the differences in their properties. The gas phase results
have been compared to theoretical estimates of the structure and stability of the systems under investigation. |
