I use resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy to learn about the electronic structure, bond lengths, vibrational frequencies, and bond strengths of small metal-containing molecules. Most recently, our group has focused on precise and accurate bond dissociation energy measurements. We are currently constructing a cryo-cooled ion photodissociation spectrometer to conduct similar spectroscopic measurements on mass-selected d- and f-block molecules.
