Continuous efforts are made to study homogeneous chemical reactions in liquid or gaseous phase and heterogeneous reactions at gas/solid or gas/liquid interphase that are important for biological activity, chemical production and environmental research. The main aim is to find to what extent a reaction can be guided by modifying reaction conditions and consequently detailed mechanistic and kinetics studies are carried-out for: (i) gas-phase reactions of metal ions with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, (ii) protonation and proton affinity of nitrogen oxides, their anions and radicals, (iii) radical flavonoids and their antioxidant activity and (iv) the mass spectra of a large number of natural polymers and their subunits.
