Abstract:Traditional experimental techniques (e.g. studies on photon absorption or emission) for determining the stereochemical structures of neutral molecules are extremely difficult to apply to molecular ions because of problems in obtaining a sufficient spatial Jensity of the ions to be studied. Recent high-resolution measurements on the energy and angle distributions of the fragments produced when fast (MeV) molecular-ion beams from an electrostatic accelerator dissociate ("Coulomb explode") in thin foils and in ga… Show more
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.
