DOI: 10.1016/j.jms.2017.03.008
Abstract: Two conformers of the n-propanol-water dimer have been observed in a supersonic expansion using chirped-pulse Fourier-transform microwave (CPFTMW) spectroscopy. Structural assignments reveal the n-propanol sub-unit is conformationally trapped, with its methyl group in both Gauche… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c09575
Abstract: The existence of water dimers in equilibrium water vapor at room temperature and their anomalous properties revealed by recent studies suggest the benchmark role of water dimers in both experiment and theory. However, there has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2212497119
Abstract: Significance Modeling water’s dynamic bond network and accurately predicting physical properties is challenging. As a result, small water clusters are crucial templates to understand hydrogen bonding at a simpler level. Unfortunately, such clusters can only… read more here.
