Spectral Fingerprint of Solvent-Bridged Ion Pairs Identified (Publication)
A molecular-level understanding of ion solvation is of fundamental interest in various fields, ranging from biochemistry to atmospheric chemistry. Currently, one of the key challenges is to assess and model the extent of ion pairing in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Obtaining detailed information on…

Chiral Selector Ion Vibrational Spectroscopy (Publication)
Chiral analytes from a microfluidic chip reactor are transferred to the gas phase where they form diastereomeric complexes with a volatile chiral selector which are spectrally differentiated by cryogenic ion trap vibrational spectroscopy. The enantiomeric ratio is rapidly determined online with…
