Abstract
Molecular cluster ions, which are stored in an electromagnetic trap under ultra-high vacuum conditions, undergo blackbody infrared radiative dissociation (BIRD). This process can be simulated with master equation modeling (MEM), predicting temperature-dependent dissociation rate constants, which are very sensitive to the dissociation energy. We have recently introduced a multiple-well approach for master equation modeling, where several low-lying isomers are taken into account. Here, we experimentally measure the BIRD of CO4●-(H2O)1,2 and model the results with a slightly modified multiple-well MEM. In the experiment, we exclusively observe loss of water from CO4●-(H2O), while the BIRD of CO4●-(H2O)2 leads predominantly to loss of carbon dioxide, with water loss occurring to a lesser extent. The MEM of two competing reactions requires empirical scaling factors for infrared intensities and the sum of states of the loose transition states employed in the calculation of unimolecular rate constants so that the simulated branching ratio matches the experiment. The experimentally derived binding energies are ΔH0(CO4●--H2O) = 45 ± 3 kJ/mol, ΔH0(CO4●-(H2O)-H2O) = 41 ± 3 kJ/mol, and ΔH0(CO2-O2●-(H2O)2) = 37 ± 3 kJ/mol. Quantum chemical calculations on the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//CCSD/aug-cc-pVDZ level, corrected for the basis set superposition error, yield binding energies that are 2-5 kJ/mol higher than experiment, within error limits of both experiment and theory. The relative activation energies for the two competing loss channels are as well fully consistent with theory.

Abstract
Hydrated molecular anions are present in the atmosphere. Revealing the structure of the microsolvation is key to understanding their chemical properties. The infrared spectra of CO3 •-(H2O)1,2 and CO4 •-(H2O)1,2 were measured via infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy in both warm and cold environments. Redshifted from the free O-H stretch frequency, broad, structured spectra were observed in the O-H stretching region for all cluster ions, which provide information on the interaction of the hydrogen atoms with the central ion. In the C-O stretching region, the spectra exhibit clear maxima, but dissociation of CO3 •-(H2O)1,2 was surprisingly inefficient. While CO3 •-(H2O)1,2 and CO4 •-(H2O) dissociate via loss of water, CO2 loss is the dominant dissociation channel for CO4 •-(H2O)2. The experimental spectra are compared to calculated spectra within the harmonic approximation and from analysis of molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations support the hypothesis that many isomers contribute to the observed spectrum at finite temperatures. The highly fluxional nature of the clusters is the main reason for the spectral broadening, while water-water hydrogen bonding seems to play a minor role in the doubly hydrated species.

Abstract
Electronic excitation and concomitant energy transfer leading to Penning ionization in argon-acetylene clusters generated in a supersonic expansion are investigated with synchrotron-based photoionization mass spectrometry and electronic structure calculations. Spectral features in the photoionization efficiency of the mixed argon-acetylene clusters reveal a blue shift from the 2P1/2 and 2P3/2 excited states of atomic argon. Analysis of this feature suggests that excited states of argon clusters transfer energy to acetylene, resulting in its ionization and successive evaporation of argon. Theoretically calculated Arn (n = 2-6) cluster spectra are in excellent agreement with experimental observations, and provide insight into the structure and ionization dynamics of the clusters. A comparison between argon-acetylene and argon-water clusters reveals that argon solvates water better, allowing for higher-order excitons and Rydberg states to be populated. These results are explained by theoretical calculations of respective binding energies and structures.

Abstract
The carbonate radical anion CO3•- is a key intermediate in tropospheric anion chemistry. Despite its radical character, only a small number of reactions have been reported in the literature. Here we investigate the gas-phase reactions of CO3•- and CO3•-(H2O) with HCl under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Bare CO3•- forms OHCl•- with a rate constant of 4.2 × 10-12 cm3 s-1, which corresponds to an efficiency of only 0.4%. Hydration accelerates the reaction, and ligand exchange of H2O against HCl proceeds with a rate of 2.7 × 10-10 cm3 s-1. Quantum chemical calculations reveal that OHCl•- is best described as an OH• hydrogen bonded to Cl-, while the ligand exchange product is Cl-(HCO3•). Under tropospheric conditions, where CO3•-(H2O) is the dominant species, Cl-(HCO3•) is efficiently formed. These reactions must be included in models of tropospheric anion chemistry.

Abstract
The mass-selected [(CO(2))(2)(H(2)O)(m)](-) cluster anions are studied using a combination of photoelectron imaging and photofragment mass spectroscopy at 355 nm. Photoelectron imaging studies are carried out on the mass-selected parent cluster anions in the m=2-6 size range; photofragmentation results are presented for m=3-11. While the photoelectron images suggest possible coexistence of the CO(2) (-)(H(2)O)(m)CO(2) and (O(2)CCO(2))(-)(H(2)O)(m) parent cluster structures, particularly for m=2 and 3, only the CO(2) (-) based clusters are both required and sufficient to explain all fragmentation pathways for m>/=3. Three types of anionic photofragments are observed: CO(2) (-)(H(2)O)(k), O(-)(H(2)O)(k), and CO(3) (-)(H(2)O)(k), k</=m, with their yields varying depending on the parent cluster size. Of these, only CO(2) (-)(H(2)O)(k) can potentially result from (O(2)CCO(2))(-)(H(2)O)(m) parent structures, although an alternative mechanism, involving the dissociation and recombination of the CO(2) (-) cluster core, is possible as well. The O(-)(H(2)O)(k) and CO(3) (-)(H(2)O)(k) channels are believed to be triggered by the dissociation of the CO(2) (-) cluster core. In the CO(3) (-)(H(2)O)(k) channel, seen only in the range of m=3-6, the CO(2) (-) core dissociation is followed by an intracluster association of nascent O(-) with the solvent CO(2). This channel's absence in larger clusters (m>6) is attributed to hindrance from the H(2)O molecules.
