“…RAES has been used to study the valence electronic structure of the condensed phase for: ionic crystals (e.g. CaF2, 40 BN 41 Na[NO3] 42,43 ), a range of small organic molecules (nitrogen heterocycles, 44 furan and pyrrole, 45,46 ethylene and cyclohexane, 47 benzene, 48 acrylonitrile 49 ), a thiophene oligomer, 50 polymers [51][52][53] , proteins, 54 DNA, 55,56 water, 57 perovskite, 58 and ions in aqueous solution [59][60][61][62][63] , but not for ILs to the best of our knowledge.…”
