This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.Volume 1 begins with two theory chapters; one discusses various theoretical aspects of ion collisions, chemistry, and dynamics, whereas the other introduces ab initio calculations of ions of all sorts. The latter has become a virtually indispensable tool in ion chemistry. Next, a chapter introducing instrumentation, with an emphasis on more unusual mass spectrometric instrumentation, generally not commercially available, although ion traps, ICRs, and time-of-flight mass spectrometers are increasingly tools that are not devoted to the specialist. Chapter 4 discusses myriad means of performing spectroscopic experiments on ions, a difficult proposition for many years. In the next chapter, various methods of measuring thermodynamic information about ions are introduced and evaluated. Collisional activation and dissociation processes, in various incarnations, are discussed in Chapter 6. Mobility experiments are the focus of the next chapter, which includes fundamental aspects and applications of this rapidly growing technology. Various means and uses of changing charge states of ions is the topic of chapter 8. Chapters 9 and 10 introduce the ion chemistry of organic ions, positive and negative, respectively. The last three chapters are expositions of the ion chemistry of clusters and solvation phenomena, inorganic chemistry, and the rapidly expanding area of biochemistry.'
