Application

Formanilide was used to study the zero electron kinetic energy(ZEKE) spectra of cis- and trans-formanilide. It was used to investigate the gas-phase structures of the two isomers of the trans-formanilide-water complex by two-colour (1+1′) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) and ZEKE spectroscopy.
