The fully synchronized instrument integrates multiple lasers, pulsed molecular beams, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and home-built LabVIEW-based control. Using this setup, the work provides the first mass-selected vibrational experimental evidence of sulfur-centered hydrogen bonding in disulfides, resolves aromaticity trends in five-membered heterocycles, and experimentally validates alkyl inductive effects, delivering robust benchmarks for noncovalent interactions UR - https://idr.niser.ac.in/jspui/handle/123456789/1496 ER -
