Research Summary
Work in our group lies on the interface between physical, inorganic, and atmospheric chemistry. Novel aspects of molecular structure, unusual types of bonding, and microsolvation as a driving force for chemical change are the central themes of our work. Whenever possible, we tackle problems through the study of systems which are or may be active in the Earth's atmosphere. This approach allows us to blend basic physical and inorganic…

We use anion photoelectron spectroscopy and flow tube ion-molecule chemistry to study the gas phase structures and reactivities of metals and metal-ligand complexes. The electron affinities, electronic state energies and vibrational frequencies measured in these experiments provide insight into the chemical bonding and energetics of the neutral and negatively charged metal…
