Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1981
“In the electronic theory, the static and dynamic behavior of
molecules are explained by the electronic effects which are
based solely on the distribution of electrons in a molecule.”
“reactivity of molecules is explained by electron location”

Summary and Conclusions
35
• X-ray spectroscopy of ions in solution
• Succesfuly investigated electronic structure of ions in solution across whole
concentration range
• NEXAFS not greatly affected by solvation environment
• Solvation environment affects EK of normal vs spectator Auger
• Observed femtosecond e- transfer
• Future challenges
• Fit all of our current CHC data
• Quantify e- transfer timescales
• Apply methods to (more) solutes in (more) molecular liquids(e.g. ethanol, propylene carbonate, acetonitrile)
• Identify all peaks/features in CHC spectra - calculations
• Are there any methods than can cope with these sizes of ions?
• How many solvent molecules/ions needed? (Fogarty et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2017, 19, 31156.)

• Larger x (more IL) smaller EB(anion)
• Larger x (more IL) Nanion more -ve(more valence electrons near Nanion for larger x)
• Same trend observed for [C4C1Im][A] ILs:
