The AlnC5- (n = 1-5) clusters were detected in the gas-phase and were investigated by mass-selected anion photoelectron spectroscopy. The structures of AlnC5-/0 (n = 1-5) were explored by theoretical...
Anion photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemistry calculations are employed to probe the electronic structure and dynamics of a unidirectional molecular rotary motor anion in the gas-phase.
