Abstract/Summary:
Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) spectrometry was used to study the effects of structure, energy and dynamics on ion-molecule reactivity in the gas phase.;Intramolecular microsolvation. Differential solvation of reactants and transition state can, in principle, lead to either acceleration or deceleration of solution reactions relative to those in the gas phase. In the case of S;Energy dependence of bimolecular reactions. We have developed an experimental technique for the FT-ICR that enables us to study the translational energy dependence of bimolecular reactions. Using this technique, we have reproduced the results of a previous study of the translational energy dependence of the reaction of ;We have demonstrated that selectively increasing the center-of-mass collision energy between one set of reactants in an S...
