Abstract
A review of experimental techniques to study the structures, energetics and reactivity of metal clusters and metal-ligand species in the gas phase is presented. The techniques reviewed include laser vaporization in supersonic expansion or continuous flow, laser induced fluorescence, resonant two-photon ionization, photoionization efficiency, pulsed-field-ionization zero-electron-kinetic-energy photoelectron spectroscopy, mass-analyzed threshold ionization, and photodepletion. Several examples will be used to illustrate the power and drawbacks of these techniques. The principles underlying kinetic studies in a fast flow reactor will also be reviewed and illustrated with several relevant examples. Future directions in the field of gas phase cluster science, and organo- and inorganometallic chemistry will be mentioned.
