Abstract
Various acid-base molecular clusters involving organic species can serve as precursors that play important roles in the formation of an atmospheric aerosol. Due to its structural flexibility and its ability to form multiple hydrogen bonds, citric acid acts as a key species in forming clusters that are critical in the nucleation of related aerosol precursors. Thus, it is provoking to characterize the structures of these clusters at the molecular level. In this paper, protonated citric acid-ammonia clusters of various sizes were generated by electrospray ionization and studied by tandem mass spectrometry. The structures of [(CA)2+NH4]1+ and [(CA)4+NH4]1+ were further characterized by the method of infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectroscopy. Combined with theoretical calculations, it is found that the most stable structures of the dimeric and tetrameric isomers show the shapes of an ingot and a lantern, respectively. It has been revealed that the temperature has a great effect on the contributions of different isomers for both dimers and tetramers. The dominat isomers are found to have more open structures at higher temperatures, facilitating the growth of clusters through new hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
Methanesulfonic acid (CH3SO3H), also known as MSA, has been found to be capable of forming a strong hydrogen-bonded interaction with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) under ambient conditions. The energetic stability of the MSA···H2SO4 clusters increases with decreasing temperature at higher altitudes in the troposphere, which is relevant in the context of atmospheric aerosol formation. We have performed, in the present work, a detailed and systematic quantum-chemical calculation with high-level density functional theory to characterize the hydrogen bond formation in the binary MSA···H2SO4, ternary MSA···(H2SO4)2, and quaternary MSA···(H2SO4)3 clusters. The five different conformations of MSA···(H2SO4)2 and six conformations of MSA···(H2SO4)3, considered in the present work for the spectroscopic analysis, have been taken from our previous work [J. Phys. Chem. A. 2020, 124, 11072-11085]. The hydrogen bonds were analyzed on the basis of infrared vibrational frequencies of different O-H stretching modes and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). A strong positive correlation has been observed between the red shift of the OH groups in MSA and H2SO4 and the corresponding O-H elongation as a result of hydrogen bond formation. Topological analysis employing QTAIM shows that most of the charge density and the Laplacian values at bond critical points (BCPs) of the hydrogen bonds of the MSA···(H2SO4)n (n = 1-3) complexes fall within the standard hydrogen-bond criteria. However, those outside these criteria fall in the category of a very strong hydrogen bond with a hydrogen bond length as low as 1.41 Å and an O-H bond elongation as high as 0.096 Å. In general, the charge densities of the BCPs located on hydrogen bonds increase as the hydrogen-bond lengths decrease. Proportionately, a larger number of hydrogen bonds in ternary MSA···(H2SO4)2 demonstrate a partial covalent character when compared with the quaternary clusters.

Abstract
The effect of complexation with sulfuric acid on the photo-dissociation of protonated Cinchona alkaloids, namely cinchonidine (Cd), quinine (Qn) and quinidine (Qd), is studied by combining laser spectroscopy with quantum chemical calculations. The protonated complexes are structurally characterized in a room-temperature ion trap by means of infra-red multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy in the fingerprint and the ν(XH) (X = C, N, O) stretch regions. Comparison with density functional theory calculations including dispersion (DFT-D) unambiguously shows that the complex consists of a doubly protonated Cinchona alkaloid strongly bound to a bisulfate HSO4- anion, which bridges the two protonated sites of the Cinchona alkaloid. UV excitation of the complex does not induce loss of specific photo fragments, in contrast to the protonated monomer or dimer, for which photo-specific fragments were observed. Indeed the UV-induced fragmentation pattern is identical to that observed in collision-induced dissociation experiments. Analysis of the nature of the first electronic transitions at the second order approximate coupled-cluster level (CC2) explains the difference in the behavior of the complex relative to the monomer or dimer towards UV excitation.

Abstract
Acid-base cluster chemistry drives atmospheric new particle formation (NPF), but the details of the growth mechanisms are difficult to experimentally probe. Clusters of ammonia, alkylamines, and sulfuric acid, species fundamental to NPF, are probed by infrared spectroscopy. These spectra show that substitution of amines for ammonia, which is linked to accelerated growth, induces profound structural rearrangement in clusters with initial compositions (NH4+) n+1(HSO4-) n (1 ≤ n ≤ 3). This rearrangement is driven by the loss of N-H hydrogen bond donors, yielding direct bisulfate-bisulfate hydrogen bonds, and its onset with respect to cluster composition indicates that more substituted amines induce rearrangement at smaller sizes. A simple model counting hydrogen bond donors and acceptors explains these observations. The presence of direct hydrogen bonds between formal anions shows that hydrogen bonding can compete with Coulombic forces in determining cluster structure. These results suggest that NPF mechanisms may be highly dependent on amine identity.

Abstract
An infrared spectroscopic and MP2/6-311++G(2d,2p) study of hydrogen bonded complexes of formaldoxime with ammonia and hydrogen chloride trapped in solid argon matrices is reported. Both 1:1 and 1:2 complexes between formaldoxime and ammonia, hydrogen chloride have been identified in the CH2NOH/NH3/Ar, CH2NOH/HCl/Ar matrices, respectively, their structures were determined by comparison of the spectra with the results of calculations. In the 1:1 complexes present in the argon matrices the OH group of formaldoxime acts as a proton donor for ammonia and the nitrogen atom acts as a proton acceptor for hydrogen chloride. In the 1:2 complexes ammonia or hydrogen chloride dimers interact both with the OH group and the nitrogen atom of CH2NOH to form seven membered cyclic structures stabilized by three hydrogen bonds. The theoretical spectra generally agree well with the experimental ones, but they seriously underestimate the shift of the OH stretch for the 1:1 CH2NOH⋯NH3 complex.
