Authors: Krupka, Katarzyna M.; de Lara-Castells, Maria Pilar Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2024/10/09 DOI: 10.1039/d4cp03271c Abstract: The concept of fluxionality has been invoked to explain the enhanced catalytic properties of atomically precise metal clusters of subnanometer size. Cu-3 isolated in the gas phase is a classical case of a fluxional metal cluster [...]

Authors: Konings, Maarten; Gonzalez-Lezana, Tomas; Camps, Simen; Loreau, Jerome Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2024/08/28 DOI: 10.1039/d4cp02179g Abstract: In this work we present new state-to-state integral scattering cross sections and initial-state selected rate coefficients for the Ar-36 (S-1) + H-2(+) (X-2 Sigma(+)(g),v = 0,j) reactive system for collision energies up to 0.1 eV [...]

Authors: Jara-Toro, Rafael A.; Roncero, Octavio; Lique, Francois Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2024/08/14 DOI: 10.1039/d4cp01902d Abstract: CH+ was the first molecular ion identified in the interstellar medium and is found to be ubiquitous in interstellar clouds. However, its formation and destruction paths are not well understood, especially at low temperatures. A new [...]

Authors: Jaddi, A.; Marakchi, K.; Zanchet, A.; Garcia-Vela, A. Journal: JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2024/01/14 DOI: 10.1063/5.0207362 Abstract: Acetaldehyde is a very relevant atmospheric species whose photodissociation has been extensively studied in the first absorption band both experimentally and theoretically. Very few works have been reported on acetaldehyde photodissociation at higher excitation energies. [...]
