8. Carbon Dioxide Activation at Rhodium Cluster Anions

David Vesty (Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford)

Please find attached abstract for poster presentation.

21. Doping cationic cobalt clusters to tune CO2 activation

Deepak Pradeep (HFML-FELIX)

Gas-phase metal clusters can act as a good model system to investigate the active sites of more complex catalyst materials whose reaction mechanisms are poorly understood. However, such materials often comprise multiple elements with a mixing ratio optimized for better selectivity and reactivity based on screening. We present experiments using a controlled laser generation of bimetallic...

24. Ion-molecule reactions of Carbocationic PAHs and water

Priyanka Arvind Paunikar (HFML-FLEIX, Radboud University)

Poster Abstract

25. Mid-infrared to THz sub-wavelength scanning probe microscopy spectroscopy using adiabatic light compression via "campanile" probe

Oleg Kolosov (Lancaster University)

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) light, with its unique ability to probe vibrational, rotational, and electronic transitions, serves as a crucial tool for exploring fundamental light-matter interactions. Focusing electromagnetic radiation with enhanced energy density into extremely small sub-wavelength and nanoscale spatial regions is a cornerstone challenge in modern optics. This capability is essential...

The ability of molecules to absorb individual quanta of vibrational energy is the cornerstone of infrared spectroscopy. However, once deposited in a...

30. Spectroscopic and theoretical investigation of HNCS+ and its formation

Mr Jens van der Hulst (HFML-FELIX, Nijmegen,  the Netherlands & Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands)

Neutral HNCS was first detected in the molecular cloud Sagittarius B2 in 1979 by Frerking et al.[1] and has since been detected in several regions of the interstellar medium (ISM). [2, 3] HNCS is of particular interest because it contains elements essential for life and may act as a precursor in the formation of prebiotic molecules. Understanding its chemistry provides valuable insight into...

18. Structural assignment of protonated hydroxylamine–carboxylic acid complexes with potential IR-induced reactivity

Mr Jean-Xavier Bardaud (CNRS, ICP, Université paris-Saclay)

Thanks to radio telescope observations, numerous prebiotic precursors, such has hydroxylamine[1], have been detected in the interstellar medium. These species may participate in the formation of more complex organic compounds observed in space. Our previous work [2] showed that IR-induced processes can indeed trigger the formation of new complex molecules. Revealing the structure of...
