Funded Activity Summary

Approaching anion solvation from the bottom up: infrared studies of negatively charged complexes and clusters. We will employ novel spectroscopic strategies to probe the structures of mass-selected anion complexes and clusters in the gas-phase with the purpose of exploring non-covalent forces responsible for anion solvation. The work is motivated by a recognition that anions serve as key participants in a host of natural and industrial chemical processes, and that their physical and chemical properties depend critically upon interactions with solvent molecules. The experimental results should serve as a critical test for computational approaches to describing anion-neutral interactions, and provide new insights into the behaviour of electrolytes, acid-base chemistry, and fundamental bimolecular reactions.
