International audienceWe present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the complex dynamics of excited doubly ionized glycine molecules in the gas phase. Multicoincidence mass spectroscopic techniques together with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations allow us to show that an ultrafast intramolecular hydrogen migration (∼30 fs) appears in competiton with the expected Coulomb repulsion
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
