The potential of ion mobility (IM) spectrometry in combination with mass spectrometry (MS) for real-time reaction monitoring is reported. The combined IM-MS approach using electrospray ionization affords gas-phase analyte characterization based on both mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio and gas-phase ion mobility

By using steady state and time-resolved (laser flash photolysis and single photon counting) spectroscopic techniques the quenching of the lowest excited singlet (S1) state of 9-cyanoanthracene (9CNA) by the donors (quenchers) 2-methylindole (2MI) and 2-methylindoline (2MIN) in solvents of different

Electrochemical measurements by cyclic voltammetry predict the possibility of occurrence of photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) reactions between the ground state of 2-phenylindole (2PI) (electron donor) and the excited singlet of 9-cyanoanthracene (9CNA) molecule acting as an electron acceptor. However, 2PI should
