Cluster Ions

Abstract

Progress has been made on the objectives listed below. The structures and energetics of a number of important synthetis polymers have been successfully investigated. A successful model for the gas phase HID exchange mechanism for proteins has been developed. Progress has been made on determining the basis for gas phase salt bridge formation in biopolymers. Finally, promising results have been obtained on the reactivity, energetics and structures of transition metal/benzene clusters. At present, we are developing theoretical models to help us interpret the data. Finally, the design of a new instrument has been completed and construction initiated.
