Abstract: Employing size-selective cryogenic photoelectron spectroscopy (cryo-PES) coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI), we have been studying the physical and chemical properties of a wide variety of complex molecular clusters ranging from microsolvated anions, hydrogen bonded complexes to atmospherically relevant pre-nucleation clusters. Our studies on a series of B12X122-(H2O)n (X = H, F, I) clusters established the formation of hydridic-to-protonic dihydrogen bonds (DHBs) and unraveled the predominance of DHB strength by comparing to those conventional B-X···H-O (X = F, I) HBs. The primary gas phase hydration shell of hydroxide has recently been investigated as well.
