Abstract
The structure of an isolated Ag+ (benzylamine) complex is investigated by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy complemented with quantum chemical calculations of candidate geometries and their vibrational spectra, aiming to ascertain the role of competing cation-N and cation-π interactions potentially offered by the polyfunctional ligand. The IRMPD spectrum has been recorded in the 800-1800 cm-1 fingerprint range using the IR free electron laser beamline coupled with an FT-ICR mass spectrometer at the Centre Laser Infrarouge d'Orsay (CLIO). The resulting IRMPD pattern points toward a chelate coordination (N-Ag+ -π) involving both the amino nitrogen atom and the aromatic π-system of the phenyl ring. The gas-phase reactivity of Ag+ (benzylamine) with a neutral molecular ligand (L) possessing either an amino/aza functionality or an aryl group confirms N- and π-binding affinity and suggests an augmented silver coordination in the product adduct ion Ag + ( benzylamine ) ( L ) .

Abstract
Understanding how neutral molecules become protonated during positive-ion electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry is critically important to ensure analytes can be efficiently ionized, detected, and unambiguously identified. The ESI solvent is one of several parameters that can alter the dominant site of protonation in polyfunctional molecules and thus, in turn, can significantly change the collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra relied upon for compound identification. Ciprofloxacin─a common fluoroquinolone antibiotic─is one such example whereby positive-ion ESI can result in gas-phase [M + H]+ ions protonated at either the keto-oxygen or the piperazine-nitrogen. Here, we demonstrate that these protonation isomers (or protomers) of ciprofloxacin can be resolved by differential ion mobility spectrometry and give rise to distinctive CID mass spectra following both charge-directed and charge-remote mechanisms. Interaction of mobility-selected protomers with methanol vapor (added via the throttle gas supply) was found to irreversibly convert the piperazine N-protomer to the keto-O-protomer. This methanol-mediated proton-transport catalysis is driven by the overall exothermicity of the reaction, which is computed to favor the O-protomer by 93 kJ mol-1 (in the gas phase). Conversely, gas phase interactions of mobility-selected ions with acetonitrile vapor selectively depletes the N-protomer ion signal as formation of stable [M + H + CH3CN]+ cluster ions skews the apparent protomer population ratio, as the O-protomer is unaffected. These findings provide a mechanistic basis for tuning protomer populations to ensure faithful characterization of multifunctional molecules by tandem mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) spectra of protonated dopamine (DAH+) and its hydrated clusters DAH+(H2O)1-3 are measured by cryogenic ion spectroscopy. DAH+ monomer and hydrated clusters with up to two water molecules show a broad UV spectrum, while it turns to a sharp, well-resolved one for DAH+-(H2O)3. Excited state calculations of DAH+(H2O)3 reproduce these spectral features. The conformer-selected IR spectrum of DAH+(H2O)3 is measured by IR dip spectroscopy, and its structure is assigned with the help of quantum chemical calculations. The excited state lifetime of DAH+ is much shorter than 20 ps, the cross correlation of the ps lasers, revealing a fast relaxation dynamics. The minimal energy path along the NH → π proton transfer coordinate exhibits a low energy barrier in the monomer, while this path is blocked by the high energy barrier in DAH+(H2O)3. It is concluded that the excited state proton transfer in DAH+ is inhibited by water-insertion.

Abstract
Ab initio and surface-hopping nonadiabatic dynamics simulation methods were employed to investigate relaxation mechanisms in protonated thymine (TH+) and cytosine (CH+). A few conical intersections were located between 1ππ* and S0 states for each system with the CASSCF (8,8) theoretical model and relevant contributions to the deactivation mechanism of titled systems were addressed by the determination of potential energy profiles at the CASPT2 (12,10) theoretical level. It was revealed that the relaxation of the 1ππ* state of the most stable conformer of both systems to the ground state is mostly governed by the accessible S1/S0 conical intersection resulting from the barrier-free out-of-plane deformation. Interestingly, it was exhibited that the ring puckering coordinate driven from the C6 position of the heterocycle ring in TH+ and CH+ plays the most prominent role in the deactivation mechanism of considered systems. Our ab initio results are also supported by excited-state nonadiabatic dynamics simulations based on ADC(2), describing the ultrashort S1 lifetime of TH+/CH+ by analyzing trajectories leading excited systems to the ground. It was confirmed that the excited-state population mostly relaxes to the ground via the ring puckering coordinate from the C6 moiety. Overall, the theoretical results of this study shed light on the deactivation mechanism of protonated DNA bases.

Abstract
We present a study of the photofragmentation of three protonated azaindole molecules - 7-azaindole, 6-azaindole, and 5-azaindole - consisting of fused pyrrole-pyridine bicyclic aromatic systems, in which the pyridinic (protonated) nitrogen heteroatom is located at the 7, 6, and 5 positions, respectively. Photofragmentation electronic spectra of the isolated aforementioned azaindolinium cations reveal that their photodynamics extends over timescales covering nine orders of magnitude and provide evidence about the resultant fragmentation pathways. Moreover, we show how the position of the heteroatom in the aromatic skeleton influences the excited state energetics, fragmentation pathways, and fragmentation timescales. Computed ab initio adiabatic transition energies are used to assist the assignation of the spectra, while geometry optimisation in the excited electronic states as well as ab initio calculations along the potential surfaces demonstrate the role of ππ*/πσ* coupling and/or large geometry changes in the dynamics of these species. Evidence supporting the formation of Dewar valence isomers as intermediates involved in sub-picosecond relaxation processes is discussed.

Abstract
We have conducted here a theoretical exploration, discussing the distinct excited state lifetimes reported experimentally for the two lowest lying protonated isomers of uracil. In this regard, the first-principal computational levels as well as the nonadiabatic surface hopping dynamics have been employed. It has been revealed that relaxation of the 1ππ* state of enol-enol form (EE+) to the ground is barrier-free via out-of-plane coordinates, resulting in an ultrashort S1 lifetime of this species. For the second most stable isomer (EK+), however, a significant barrier predicted in the CASPT2 S1 potential energy profile along the twisting coordinate has been proposed to explain the relevant long lifetime reported experimentally.

Abstract
We report a comprehensive study of the structures and deactivation processes of protonated adrenaline through cryogenic UV photodissociation spectroscopy. Single UV and double-resonance UV-UV hole burning spectroscopies have been performed and compared to coupled-cluster SCS-CC2 calculations performed on the ground and first electronic states. Three conformers were assigned, two lowest energy gauche conformers along with a higher energy conformer with an extended structure which is indeed the global minimum in solution. This demonstrates the kinetic trapping of this high energy gas phase conformer during the electrospray process. At the band origin of all conformers, the main fragmentation channel is the Cα-Cβ bond cleavage, triggered by an excited state proton transfer to the catechol ring. Internal conversion leading to the water loss channel competes with the direct dissociation and tends to prevail with the increase of excess energy brought by the UV laser. Picosecond time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy was performed to measure the excited state lifetimes of the three conformers of AdH+, which decay with the increase of excess energy in the ππ* state, from 2 ns at the band origin down to few hundreds of picoseconds 0.5 eV to the blue. Finally, about 0.8 eV above the band origin, the πσ* state is directly reached, leading to the opening of the H-loss channel.

Abstract
Triplet action spectra of two similar copper porphyrins, copper tetraphenylporphyrin (CuTPP) and copper octaethylporphyrin (CuOEP), have been studied in the gas phase at low temperatures in the absence of external perturbations by using a resonant pump and a 193 nm probe, ionizing the 3ππ* orbital localized on the porphyrin cycle. The molecules were prepared by laser desorption in a disk source, then cooled in a helium supersonic expansion, and finally excited in the Q band system (S1 ← S0). This type of experiment allows the spectroscopic characterization of large non-luminescent molecules in the absence of solvent perturbations. The two copper porphyrins exhibit a broad electronic origin Q00 absorption spectrum, partly caused by the short lifetime of the excited (S1) state. The two porphyrins differ strongly with a strong Q00 band for CuOEP and a weak one for CuTPP, in agreement with the Gouterman four-orbital model. The two molecules exhibit different solvent shifts: CuOEP is blue shifted in non-polar solvents owing to its alkyl substituents, while CuTPP is red shifted as for regular transitions to ππ* orbitals. The decay dynamics of the triplet state exhibit a collision-free lifetime of 70 ± 7 ns for CuTPP atop a microsecond decay. This non-exponential decay can be viewed as evidence of time evolution of two states combining the state with spin 1 borne by the porphyrin ring and that by the Cu atom 12. Therefore, this method allows solvent-free spectrodynamics of large molecules in a short microsecond time range.

Abstract
The interaction of a water molecule with ferric heme-iron protoporphyrin ([PP FeIII]+) has been investigated in the gas phase in an ion trap and studied theoretically by density functional theory. It is found that the interaction of water with ferric heme leads to a stable [PP-FeIII-H2O]+ complex in the intermediate spin state (S = 3/2), in the same state as its unligated [PP-FeIII]+ homologue, without spin crossing during water attachment. Using the Van't Hoff equation, the reaction enthalpy for the formation of a Fe-OH2 bond has been determined for [PP-FeIII-H2O]+ and [PP-FeIII-(H2O)2]+. The corrected binding energy for a single Fe-H2O bond is -12.2 ± 0.6 kcal mol-1, while DFT calculations at the OPBE level yield -11.7 kcal mol-1. The binding energy of the second ligation yielding a six coordinated FeIII atom is decreased with a bond energy of -9 ± 0.9 kcal mol-1, well reproduced by calculations as -7.1 kcal mol-1. However, calculations reveal features of a weaker bond type, such as a rather long Fe-O bond with 2.28 Å for the [PP-FeIII-H2O]+ complex and the absence of a spin change by complexation. Thus despite a strong bond with H2O, the FeIII atom does not show, through theoretical modelling, a strong acceptor character in its half filled 3dz2 orbital. It is also observed that the binding properties of H2O to hemes seem strikingly specific to ferric heme and we have shown, experimentally and theoretically, that the affinity of H2O for protonated heme [H PP-Fe]+, an intermediate between FeIII and FeII, is strongly reduced compared to that for ferric heme.

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
The conformational landscape of the diketopiperazine (DKP) dipeptide built on tyrosine and proline, namely, cyclo Tyr-Pro, is studied by combining resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization, double resonance infrared ultraviolet (IR-UV) spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. Despite the geometrical constraints due the two aliphatic rings, DKP and proline, cyclo Tyr-Pro is a flexible molecule. For both diastereoisomers, cyclo LTyr-LPro and cyclo LTyr-DPro, two structural families coexist under supersonic jet conditions. In the most stable conformation, the aromatic tyrosine substituent is folded over the DKP ring (g+ geometry of the aromatic ring) as it is in the solid state. The other structure is completely extended (g- geometry of the aromatic ring) and resembles that proposed for the vapor phase. IR-UV results are not sufficient for unambiguous assignment of the observed spectra to either folded or extended conformations and the simulation of the vibronic pattern of the S0-S1 transition is necessary. Still, the comparison between IR-UV results and anharmonic calculations allows explanation of the minor structural differences between cyclo LTyr-LPro and cyclo LTyr-DPro in terms of different NH···π and CH···π interactions.

Abstract
The binding energy of CO, O2 and NO to isolated ferric heme, [FeIIIP]+, was studied in the presence and absence of a σ donor (N-methylimidazole and histidine) as the trans axial ligand. This study combines the experimental determination of binding enthalpies by equilibrium measurements in a low temperature ion trap using the van't Hoff equation and high level DFT calculations. It was found that the presence of N-methylimidazole as the axial ligand on the [FeIIIP]+ porphyrin dramatically weakens the [FeIIIP-ligand]+ bond with an up to sevenfold decrease in binding energy owing to the σ donation by N-methylimidazole to the FeIII(3d) orbitals. This trans σ donor effect is characteristic of ligation to iron in hemes in both ferrous and ferric redox forms; however, to date, this has not been observed for ferric heme.

Abstract
The photoswitchability of a protonated aromatic compound (2-aminobenzaldehyde, 2ABZH+) in its individual and microhydrated states has been addressed based on the RI-MP2/RI-CC2 theoretical methods. Our calculated results give insight into the ultrafast nonradiative deactivation mechanism of the 2ABZH+, driven by a conical intersection between the S1/ S0 potential energy surfaces. Also, it has been predicted that protonation accompanies a significant blue shift effect on the first 1ππ* excited state of 2ABZ by 0.87 eV (at least 50 nm).

Abstract
While ferrous heme (Fe(II)) within hemoproteins binds dioxygen efficiently, it has not yet been possible to observe the analog complex with ferric heme (Fe(III)). We present the first observation and characterization of the latter complex in a cooled ion trap. The bond formation enthalpy of ferric heme-O2 has been derived from the Van't Hoff equation by means of temperature dependent measurements. The binding energy of the [heme Fe(III)-O2](+) ionic complex is rather strong as compared to that of [heme Fe(III)-N2](+), showing the formation of an incipient Fe-O bond, which is confirmed by the electronic absorption spectra of the two complexes. This first observation of the [heme Fe(III)-O2](+) complex lays the basis for the precise description of its electronic states.

Abstract
The structure and dynamics of the highly flexible side chain of (protonated) phenylethylamino neurotransmitters are essential for their function. The geometric, vibrational, and energetic properties of the protonated neutrotransmitter 2-phenylethylamine (H(+)PEA) are characterized in the N-H stretch range by infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectroscopy of cold ions using rare gas tagging (Rg = Ne and Ar) and anharmonic calculations at the B3LYP-D3/(aug-)cc-pVTZ level including dispersion corrections. A single folded gauche conformer (G) protonated at the basic amino group and stabilized by an intramolecular NH(+)-π interaction is observed. The dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations reveal the important effects of dispersion on the cation-π interaction and the large vibrational anharmonicity of the NH3(+) group involved in the NH(+)-π hydrogen bond. They allow for assigning overtone and combination bands and explain anomalous intensities observed in previous IR multiple-photon dissociation spectra. Comparison with neutral PEA reveals the large effects of protonation on the geometric and electronic structure.

Abstract
Solving the 3D structure of a biomolecule requires recognition of its conformers and measurements of their individual structural identities, which can be compared with calculations. We employ the phenomenon of nonstatistical photofragmentation, detected by a combination of UV cold ion spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry, to identify the main conformers of gas-phase peptides and to recover individual UV absorption and mass spectra of all of these conformers in a single laser scan. We first validate this approach with a benchmark dipeptide, Tyr-Ala, and then apply it to a decapeptide, gramicidin S. The revealed characteristic structural difference between the conformers of the latter identifies some of the previously calculated structures of gramicidin S as the most likely geometries of its remaining unsolved conformer.

Abstract
Hydration has a drastic impact on the structure and function of flexible biomolecules, such as aromatic ethylamino neurotransmitters. The structure of monohydrated protonated phenylethylamine (H(+) PEA-H2 O) is investigated by infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectroscopy of cold cluster ions by using rare-gas (Rg=Ne and Ar) tagging and dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP-D3/aug-cc-pVTZ level. Monohydration of this prototypical neurotransmitter gives an insight into the first step of the formation of its solvation shell, especially regarding the competition between intra- and intermolecular interactions. The spectra of Rg-tagged H(+) PEA-H2 O reveal the presence of a stable insertion structure in which the water molecule is located between the positively charged ammonium group and the phenyl ring of H(+) PEA, acting both as a hydrogen bond acceptor (NH(+) ⋅⋅⋅O) and donor (OH⋅⋅⋅π). Two other nearly equivalent isomers, in which water is externally H bonded to one of the free NH groups, are also identified. The balance between insertion and external hydration strongly depends on temperature.

Abstract
The excited state lifetimes of conformer- and mode-selected cold protonated tyrosine have been measured for the first time through a picosecond pump-probe photodissociation scheme. Whereas the photofragmentation mechanism of protonated tyrosine ions strongly depends upon the interaction of the carboxylic acid group with the phenol ring, their excited state lifetimes are quite similar and decrease as the excess energy increases from 1.5 ns at the band origin to 900 ps and less than 500 ps for the 10(1) and 10(2) bands, respectively. Surprisingly, the excited state lifetime of the conformer with the anti orientation of the hydroxyl oxygen lone pair with respect to the ammonium group dramatically increases as compared to the others conformers up to 10 ns at the band origin and by more than a factor of 2 for the 10(1) band. The present experimental results clearly emphasize the subtle effect of the structural conformation on the excited state properties of molecular ions.

Abstract
We are presenting the electronic photofragment spectra of the protonated pyrimidine DNA base homodimers. Only the thymine dimer exhibits a well structured vibrational progression, while the protonated monomer shows broad vibrational bands. This shows that proton bonding can block some nonradiative processes present in the monomer.

Abstract
Phenylalkylamines of the general formula C6H5(CH2)nNH2 (n = 1-4) have been delivered to the gas phase as protonated species using electrospray ionization. The ions thus formed have been assayed by IRMPD spectroscopy in two different spectroscopic domains, namely, the 600-1800 and the 3000-3500 cm(-1) regions using either an IR free electron laser or a tabletop OPO/OPA laser source. The interpretation of the experimental spectra is aided by density functional theory calculations of candidate species and vibrational frequency analyses. Protonated benzylamine presents a relatively straightforward instance of a single stable conformer, providing a trial case for the adopted approach. Turning to the higher homologues, C6H5(CH2)nNH3(+) (n = 2-4), more conformations become accessible. For each C6H5(CH2)nNH3(+) ion (n = 2-4), the most stable geometry is characterized by cation-π interactions between the positively charged ammonium group and the aromatic π-electronic system, permitted by the folding of the polymethylene chain. The IRMPD spectra of the sampled ions confirm the presence of the folded structures by comparison with the calculated IR spectra of the various possible conformers. An inspection of the NH stretching region is helpful in this regard.

Abstract
A novel method for double-resonance spectroscopy in a cold quadrupole ion trap is presented, which utilizes dipolar resonant excitation of fragment ions in the quadrupole ion trap. Photofragments by a burn laser are removed by applying an auxiliary RF to the trap, and a probe laser detects the depletion of photofragments by the burn laser. By scanning the wavelength of the burn laser, conformation-specific UV spectrum of a cold ion is obtained. This simple and powerful method is applicable to any type of double-resonance spectroscopy in a cold quadrupole ion trap and was applied to UV-UV hole-burning spectroscopy of protonated adenine dimer. It was found that protonated adenine dimer has multiple conformers/tautomers, each with multiple excited states with drastically different excited state dynamics.

Abstract
A new ultraviolet-ultraviolet hole-burning (UV-UV HB) spectroscopic scheme has been developed for cold gas-phase ions in a quadrupole ion trap (QIT) connected with a time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. In this method, a pump UV laser generates a population hole for the ions trapped in the cold QIT, and a second UV laser (probe) monitors the population hole for the ions extracted to the field-free region of the TOF mass spectrometer. Here, the neutral fragments generated by the UV dissociation of the ions with the second laser are detected. This UV-UV HB spectroscopy was applied to protonated dibenzylamine and to protonated uracil. Protonated uracil exhibits two strong electronic transitions; one has a band origin at 31760 cm(-1) and the other at 39000 cm(-1). From the UV-UV HB measurement and quantum chemical calculations, the lower-energy transition is assigned to the enol-keto tautomer and the higher-energy one to the enol-enol tautomer.
