Our research focuses on experimental probes and theoretical modeling of the electronic structure of atomic, molecular and cluster anions, as well as the corresponding neutral species. Our work offers an in-depth look at molecular bonding motifs and reactivity, made possible by photoelectron imaging spectroscopy.

Our objective is to attain a molecular-level view of the fundamental driving force of chemistry: the electronic structure transformations in reactions and intermolecular interactions. As chemical bonding is controlled by electrons, it is their behavior that determines the molecular potential energy landscapes and ultimately controls the outcomes of reactions. READ MORE...
