Preface
A technique of generation of cold gas-phase molecules, molecular ions, and clusters has been extensively developed in past several decades. In addition, a variety of laser spectroscopic methods is now available to measure the vibrational and electronic spectra of the low-density cold gas-phase molecules. Also, there has been a great progress of quantum chemical calculation to determine the geometrical and electronic structure of molecules and clusters. By combining the advanced experimental techniques and theoretical/computational methods, we are now able to carry out detailed study on photophysics, photochemistry, and reaction dynamics of gas-phase molecules and clusters having variety of functionalities, whose structures are well defined. This book contains the recent experimental and theoretical studies on the structures and photochemistry of cold gas-phase large-size molecules, molecular clusters, host–guest complexes in the neutral and ionic forms, and metal clusters. The first chapter introduces experimental technique of generating cold gas-phase neutral and ionic molecules and the
