The Gordon Research Seminar on Gaseous Ions: Structures, Energetics and Reactions is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This meeting highlights the most recent experimental and theoretical advances in both fundamental gas-phase ion chemistry and its application to systems associated with a wide variety of real-world problems. Topics of interest cover aspects of gas-phase ions related to their structure, energetics, and reactivity, including, but not limited to, technique development; ionization, activation, and dissociation energetics; interactions with molecules, ions, electrons, and surfaces; and structural characterization. Systems studied range in size from a few atoms to proteins and nanoparticles and are of relevance to atmospheric chemistry, catalysis, and biology, to name a few.
