Application

Formanilide was used to study the zero electron kinetic energy(ZEKE) spectra of cis- and trans-formanilide. It was used to investigate the gas-phase structures of the two isomers of the trans-formanilide-water complex by two-colour (1+1′) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) and ZEKE spectroscopy.

It is shown that constrained density functional theory (DFT) can be used to access diabatic potential energy surfaces in the Marcus theory of electron transfer, thus providing a means to directly calculate the driving force and the inner-sphere reorganization energy.
